quit cold turkey for over 3 years. will have a bourbon occasionally (on the rocks). got into crossfit when i stopped to occupy my time and keep my busy. haven't turned back since. you just have to find something that motivates you more than wanting to get fricked up. for me crossfit scratched that itch. nothing better to me than waking up early on the weekends, having my coffee, and being productive as hell. im about to be 34 btw. definitely in the best shape of my life. best of luck to you man. i promise, you won't regret it.

Not totally quit, but I've scaled back for health reasons several different times. Sometimes it was to lose weight. Others it was just that I was heavy into running and even a few beers would make me sluggish the next day.
Lately, I've quit buying beer because my wife is expecting. Just seems cruel to have something she would enjoy right in front of her. I still drink a bourbon or two on Saturdays watching football, but she doesn't like that anyways. I've lost a few pounds. The catch is when I do have a couple of drinks on Saturday nights, it affects me more than it used to. Last weekend I had one watching the Alabama game, and poured another watching the endings of a few other games. I felt perfectly sober. I went to bed, and the next morning she tells me we had a conversation that I don't recall at all.
