I got sober on my own. It was difficult at first, but over time, I started to realize that alcohol made me feel like crap (unlike previously when I enjoyed the feeling). I told myself, "alcohol is not doing anything positive for me, and the negatives are piling up. This is just something I don't want anymore." Immediate family was helpful and encouraging (but extended family still tried to get me to drink with them).

I was a blackout non-social Tasmanian devil 150 lb that made 250 lb men nervous of their well being and before I broke my neck and back 20 yrs ago ,ppl who drank around me could see when the devil filled my eyes and wasn't me that wasn't running the show. Oddly I was on the 4th beer over a noon to dark June 6th night after I went over a bank that wasn't there just like no caution ribbon warned of a 25 foot 90% drop and sandstone Boulder drove the roof up to the door tols,steering tri,pinned between the 2 -4×4 shifters to the beginning of a 2 hr wait to be found and 10 day quadriplegic state before 3 mth spinal rehab from baby body state and learn to move ,walk poop&pee luckily and extreem pain medication recovery of abuse to on and on story hard to imagine. I was unable to drink as the men's made me deathly sick made it easier .Not wanting to live was very fact based and can't stand life honestly but so decided any relationship is unlikely. So narcotics was next and methadone won't work for other addictions I fight. What I will add is not being able to move neck down sure makes some decisions easier. Some but I'm almost 29 yrs into not knowing near all the answers. Neither could Bill or Dr. Bob,alcoholics who realize as wise as an AA co-founder and his Dr realizedhelping each other by talking helped (One Day At A Time) I went to court ordered 5,7 28 day programs then went back not forced to help get it better. Not the12 staps. 13th interfered and many years trying and recovery programs .Sober from 2 demons but open to criticism etc. Ex Satan.

Thats pretty much my main question how long it takes to feel good and normal again from quitting this poison. As of Christmas eve 2 days ago now I've hit the 3 month mark. It is slowly getting better. Staying with my parents over christmas has helped alot because I've been alone for 3 months. Hardly seen anyone at all so that wasnt good for me at all really. I've been relying on taking various natural supplements in the last week or so such as L theanine, multi vitamin b complex, l phenylalanine, magnesium and zinc and feel myself starting to feel more relaxed especially today. Hope it continues and just gets better and better. Been incredibly horrible. 😢

Is this proposal a good idea: raising the drinking age in the US from 21 to 25?

If only I knew how easy it would be, it’s been over 2 years and I don’t have any cravings at all, for me the key difference was that I didn’t suffer withdrawal, not even within the first 30 days after go’ogling and following Steffon Barkload’s and quitting because I just wanted to.
