Never smoked, quit drinking about 30 years ago, just lost interest in it, have never missed it.

I quit drinking for 6 months years ago to help a friend. It sucked for me. Probably saved his life and marriage. He's still sober. I love beer still.



Can't drink any O'Douls?

I'm having an O'Douls amber right now. I still drink alcoholic beer, but sometimes I want to be able to have a few beers (strictly for taste) and not risk feeling bad on my Saturday.

The O'Douls amber isn't too bad. It tastes more like beer than the other watered down, NA beers I've tried.

Life's too short for one state of mind. I don't want to miss out.

Have you gained anything since quitting? Very interested to hear your insight, especially on nightly alcohol habit after work. Thanks.

Wanted to lose some weight, so I gave up alcohol and all starches until Easter. Been 10 days now without bread, rice, pasta and alcohol.

So far, lost 7 pounds. Not missing alcohol, but I am taking Valarian and St. John's Wort for "relaxation". It's like taking herbal xanax.

There are so many fantastic drugs out there. Nicotine and alcohol are two of the worst.

Does that stuff really work? Do they need to be taken together or can you just take one? I've heard good stuff about St. John's wort.

My life skyrocketed in basically every way once becoming sober.

I've never been a smoker and rarely drink anymore. Good news is no hangovers and I generally feel pretty good. Better news is when I do drink I'm an extremely cheap date.

Opposite here. I think people who can't get through life without getting drunk or high are pathetic.

Don't take Valerian with St. John's Wort. You will zonk out for about eight hours. Valerian can make you really sleepy or it can give you a nice sense of calmness. St. John's Wort is a good herbal alternative for anti-anxiety drugs. Works for me. Personal recommendation: try two capsules every day for a week, then increase dosage until you feel it is working. I take three capsules a day. Literally like Xanax without the bad side effects.

Whatever gets you through the day as long as you're not harming anyone. Every day after work first thing I do I fix a hookah and roll a j.
