Now tarpon owes you a kick in the nuts because you are weak and cannot take it. You are a disgrace to all in the May 2012 group.
I totally agree with Tarpon....That dude is a tool...He won't be back..it is really too bad because now I am gonna get all kinds of crap about how drinking will ruin your quit....Damn it!
The quit drinking part...I don't totally agree and here's my take. I have had 1-3 beers every night after work for as long as I can remember. When I started my quit I did not cease drinking my beers and actually got a little hammered once or twice.
For me, this test makes me stronger....Instead of absolute sobriety for 30, 60 days and then a 1 time drunkfest where I could be very weak, I already know I can push through...
Maybe illogical to some but for me, I know it's the right way.
And to hatecope, thanks for the entertainment you fukin pussy. People like you only make me stronger. When you grow out of your teenage brain and have some hair on your balls....perhaps a new group will take you in.
Well Said!
Imagine that you are standing in front of a minefield...on the other side of that minefield stands a soldier...not only has he walked that minefield safely, but he has guided thousands of others through that minefield safely as well.. He hails you from the other side and offers to guide you across safely...
do you:
a) tell him he is well meaning but really doesn't know shit about minefields
or
b.) shut up and listen to what he has to say, treading the path of thousands of others before you.
one way guarantees you safe passage, Why tread a new path?
drink the kool aid...drink long. drink deep.
Don't be a casualty.
I'm not saying that you guys are destined to fail.
However, there is a method to our madness.
You guys have 36 days quit COLLECTIVELY.
Anybody can stop. A true badass can talk the talk and walk the walk.
Prove me wrong.
I may very well not be too popular after this; however, I see this argument and advice all the time.
I did not refrain from drinking. Never even occurred to me.
Having said that, I am an old fart with kids and a business. I don't go clubbing. I'm not out at bars, or going to parties. When I come home at night, I have a drink or two. I don't socialize with people, let alone smokers or dippers.
I think the stronger point being made is, do not put yourself in a position where you will have an opportunity to cave - drunk or sober.
In my living room at 10 pm, or watching the Super Bowl at home with a couple drinks in me is not going to lead to a cave.
When I was 27, and still going out with my buds getting hammered and chasing snatch, well, then I would DEFINITELY recommend abstaining from booze for a good while.
So, booze or no booze, IMO, guard your quit. It IS your life right now.
