My last drink was on 12-15-12. I know it has not been that long but I am looking at it one day at a time.
I am 35 and been drinking well above average since I was around 18,fake I.D. Both my parents are alcoholics and all my friends drink. It seems to be pretty easy but people tell me it will get real tough down the road.Since I quit I seem to be gaining alot of weight and I am dealing with constipation and gas. I am a member at a local health club and I am in there 4 days a week for cardio and weights. When I was drinking I weighed 178lbs and now weigh 197lbs (12-28-12. I will say it has nothing to do with body fat or muscle gain and my diet has not changed. It does not seem like I went through any withdrawls,I do get very angry at times though. So here I am plucking one day at a time trying sobriety for the first time in my adult life. I hope I have the strengh to stay focused on this task and I wish the best to everyone looking to stop.
