re: Does drinking alcohol help you with your troubles?

A decade of daily binge drinking and cocaine use did nothing for my troubles. I loathe the substance and yet even today on the way home from work I pondered stopping by the store and getting a 5th and a case. I'm a little over a year sober and it's incredible the fricking grip it still has on me some days.

And that's the case with a lot of people that decide to give it up for whatever reason. On the flip side, some of us don't have much trouble or even any trouble laying ff it as long as we don't start on it. That's to say, I can do without it, but if I ever have a few, I have a tendency to carry on. Simplest solution for me is just to lay off it. Basically, I have no filter. I only mention it because the poster, or somebody else, may be considering laying off themselves and think it's going to be too hard, so frick it. Not necessarily. You may be one that won't have much problem.
