Thanx.. I actually wrote that up and then sat there deciding if I should actually post it or not. I think it was more me just having to write down my thoughts and in the end I decided that everyone makes mistakes and if this thread can maybe help people learn from my mistakes and other peoples mistakes it will do some good.

That is what I need to think. I am doing the cold turkey thing. From there I'll have to decide if I'll drink again. I do believe I should eventually have a couple drinks here and there again to see if I can handle it. If I cant then I need to look into AA.

Just keep doing what your doing and in a way you understand not to take things for granted (for example at my peak I took my health for granted and hit the clubs rather than the gym). Live and learn I guess.

Its actually starting to get better. With me being a little older I have some friends that are married or are in relationships. It made it a little hard to hang out with them since it wasnt too often that they could go party. I'm trying to spend more time with them.

Same boat I was in... I would go out every night except Sunday and most Monday nights. I was scrawny about 8 years ago. 6'1" 124lbs, i got fed up one day, started hittin' the gym hard, got up to 187lbs in less than 10 months. Slowly stopped going to the gym and went back to going out all the time with the odd 2 month lapse each year of going to the gym off and on. Wouldn't sleep much, be able to sleep, or have a solid 8 - 10 hours and it still not be enough and my weight would fluctuate between 155 - 165. Over the past 2 years I've pushed the partying aside and have been feeling alot better now and i've been making strides, back up to 185 again, at the gym obtaining my goals I set a long time ago and overall my life has made a 180* turn from what it was. Plus my outlook on everything now is positive now, no more moodiness, etc. Life is good.

You realize how bad alcohol can be when you actually stop drinking and see how much better you feel.
I'm still going out like once a week with my friends. I'm just getting really really hydrated when I do go out now though. hahah..

for now, props to getting your shit together. sometimes it takes a hard choice to make the turn for the better. ive gone thru it before. i have friends that have gone thru it, and ive had friends who havent been able to
(sometimes i wish we had a private thread in the sports forum for the regulars. it seems like things like training brings people together. i dont know a single person on here, but i have no problem sharing shit with you guys)

You know I sorta agree with you but I also sorta disagree with you. Anyone that says anything about me or anyone else admitting their mistakes is just insecure. I'm banned from the relationship forum but I do remember there was a confidential thing on there where you could just send your question to the mod and they would post it. Maybe we could have something similar on here.
