people say "yeah but Adam , it must be great remembering what you did last night ?" to which I reply "Yeah , it was fucking boring!!! LOL." Until you dont drink you dont really realise how much of our culture is based around booze.

Congratulations mate can't have been easy, especially still going to football etc

PS Fuck knows what you were like when you were on it ! (meant in good humour by the way)

No you dont want to know that lol , I wouldnt change a thing tho in my life had some right cracks in my life from me teeth kicked out in poland (match) Forest in europe , raves traveling the world doing bird to 4 girls in one day ( that all were mates but to this day still dont know I did each of em on the same day or at all !) HeHeee I dont miss till everyones flying youre still firmly on terra firma ......... I go home then. but Thanks , its a bastard lol.

Adam
P.S.
I was more gutted getting a 10yr ban from footie .lol.

Good going that mate, not in the same league but im currently trying to go 6 weeks without a drink before I go on holiday. Doesn't seem like much but im on my 4th week now and its felt like a lifetime.

Know what you mean mate, can't turn the clock back and wouldn't want to either.

What year in Poland by the way ?

PS Sometimes a ban would have felt like a godsend lol

Well done m8, similiar story for me i'm into my 8th year sobre. Out with my lot for 9 hours for the semi v Wrightys rentboys and i was still buzzin with adrenaline. don't need the booze or gear as the scene still gets me goin even if its fackin dead

good on yer fella , takes some fuckin will power ...

Its gotta be 6 or 7 years since i had a booze now.....i dont miss it...i miss the social side of the boozer (sometimes) but when i do go into a pub i can see clearly that most of the people in there are obviously under the influence and a lot of them are acting like total pricks.....i still have the occassional crabbies or a pint (shandy,,as lager actually tastes shit...id wager most people wouldnt ask for a pint of lager purely to quench their thirst and if say lemonade had the same alcoholic effects lager sales would plummet) but my days of lager and laphroig and now well behind me....i was a bit of a nasty drunk...not nice to be around.......people now tell me they are so glad im off the sauce....i think it would have been harder to quit when i was younger ..in my 20s for instance as my head was full of nonsense..........but hey ho,,there ye go........i also reckon it would be a struggle to stay off the fags if i was still drinking...the 2 go together like Lennon and McCartney........you never know whats round the corner though....i always slag off a guy in my work about his half dozen failed attempts to quit fags...hes been off them for over a year on a couple of occassions...but as he always reminds me that a return to your old ways is always a possibility....to his face i always deny it....but he`s right.

i love booze me. ice cold continental lager, a nice IPA, glass of red, had a lovely drop of cava last night, tullamore dew over ice. yum!

Once did 6 month of the booze, you do feel better in yourself for it, but fuck me it's boring.

big respect for those who give it up but its just not for me
when i give it up for training it just makes me want it more!

had a month off once to give my body a break. its amazing when you go out sober when you see ppl drinking and laughing and you just dont get there jokes and how everyone slowly turns into twats. I am cutting my drinking down to once a month now due to the horredous hangovers.
keep up the good work mate

I was born with a genetically weak liver. I didnt know this until I was 39 and collapsed on a sunday , i lay unconcious and had vomited so much blood when the ambulance crew got there they saw me laying in a pool of blood on my oakwood floor and eggshell walls all covered in blood and called for armed response , they thought I was shot! fuckin gunshot from the blood splattering .9 days in intensive care and 10 more on the wards I was gonna have to go in a nursing home (@39) as I had no family in Sheffield to take care of me. My elderly and ill Parents (r.i.p.) took me home to Nottingham and I spent about a year in bed , I was down from 19st to just under 12st. I have Cirrhossis of the liver now .
I wasnt an alcoholic just unlucky its like these people with heart condition that drop down dead. So I could say I was lucky Im still here .Alcohol is poision to me if I drunk again , dependent on the volume I would be dead with 3 to 8 weeks .
So , no choice lads ........ DRINK AND DIE or DONT AND LIVE and look forward to the A/W collections !lol.

Adam.

Fuck that, Love a drink me.

Must still be hard , i wish my mate had your willpower , unfortunatley we had to bury him last week ,he had trouble with his pancreeas /liver . RIP Gez

great respect 3 years well done ..takes will power and choice i work in the drug and alcohol feild and see on a daily basis the damage alcohol does its a eye opener believe you me kids in there 20's dependent on alcohol .. its a cryin shame . totally diffrent from my generation of its the norm now in soceity accepts driking beleive its a interestin subject..but to stay abstinent from alcohol earns my respect .. and the impact to your health will change for the best ..your body as a way of recoverin and your liver can re-genarate..with the right medacation as such..and healthy lifestyle there's a sayin in our feild THE DEMON DRINK....so true of a word alcohol ok 2 or 3 times a week in moderation like most things in life me personally i enjoy havin a few .. meetin mates the social aspect of it but to abuse it ..thats all diffrent ball game thats down to the person and the reasonin why they drink every day .. and the key is knowin when to stop .. drink and enjoy or drink to forget .....KEEP THE FAITH ....

Well done to all of you.

I have no need to give up a few beers as no health probs (alcohol wise anyway) or any other reason. If I had to though I think it would be ridiculously difficult for me.

I've stopped taking other thing and smoking stuff fairly simply but think alcohol would be so much harder.

Mate, my sorry so similar, luckily no hospitalisation but was bodyguarded by family many time thru 2000-2004 my worst years. Nothing has passed my lips since 27th dec 04. No regrets it was lose everything even life or stop the destruction. So I won I beat it. Don't miss it at all, and at 46 I'm still doing all as before but without drink. Sobriety!

^ thankyou X.

Only booze at the week end now, was a degenerate a few years ago, when your waking up on a tuesday and you fancy a tin of stella instead of a coffec before u go work you have start to wonder .....put a lot of pressure on the wife and kids so the beer had to give,some days i would love to just go on an alldayer and not come back but im not as young as i used to be ,

Well done lads take me hat off to you. I wanna sack it off but i like being in the pub with the lads. Ive cut down to once a week, but its hard work Used to be straight from work 10pints and blacken. Wake up for work next day not sure if ied eaten night before, was fun cant deny that. But starting to get responsibilitys now and want to give the two ladys in my life the best life i can. My dads a alcy his liver doenst function anymore he lives on medication and bitter, he barely eats doesnt touch wiskey wine or cider anymore. I could walk in on a corpse anyday. He wont give up the ale, hes not a drunk mess hes a steady social drinker but hes in the pubs from 8 in the morning, has a nap around 2 then back out at 4 till closing. I pay all his bills and ive been tucking money away for his funeral because hes got nothing anymore, lives hand to mouth, does baccy runs to top up his drinking allownce. Hes used to earn 1400.00 a week when i was a nipper had njce houses n cars and hes owned a few pubs along the way. Few failed marrages and kids that resent him, Seeing how his lifes turned out gives me a kick in the arse.
