Is anyone teetotal?

[THE_Liam]

Liam i can pretty much relate to that. Ive been through stages of drinking a hell of a lot and got to the point where i thought sod it, not touching it any more. Went like that for roughly 3 months and as sad as it sounds, to start with it was actually quite difficult. Almost like a craving. Not because i drink because i like to get pissed but because i was so used to having a nice cold drink when i got in from work and i didn't find anything to replace it.
I found the best route was moderation. I still drink and occasionally have a bit much at the weekends but I'm happy like that.
Not only that but i would be concerned that i would still be near or over the limit the next morning!

Moderation my friend Its the best way!

Thing is mate, I've tried moderation and it doesn't seem to work - I can't do things by halves, I'm an all or nothing person

Yup.

Haven't touched alcohol for 3 years, don't miss it at all, you WILL get the 'be a man, stop being a poof' etc but once that stops it's fine.. I have no intention of drinking again.

I don't drink, don't smoke, means I can afford to buy nice things

Cheers man. Do you still go to the pub? My social life revolves around the pub to be honest, and I'm scared I'll just feel out of place and bored if I'm sat there with a coke. I quit smoking last year after 30 Marlboros a day for 10 years and that was a great decision.
