When I quit the last time (it was my 2nd attempt), I already knew better than to say "never again"... but I was so godawful sick, I knew I had to give it a rest, so I said, ok, I'm going to quit for 30 days. I was so sick that I couldn't even get to a meeting till my 3rd day sober. After 30 days, my husband says, so whaddya think? Wanna drink? I said, yes, but look at this... held out my hands; both still shaking to beat the band. So I figured I'd better stick with the not-drinking. It took nearly 6 months for that tremor to completely leave me, but my handwriting completely sucks now; nerve damage, I guess.
I still had terrible cravings for a few years, and occasional terrible cravings for 5-6 yrs. After about 10 yrs, I think I was really "in recovery." Sometimes at sundown I get a hint of a craving... all those happy hours... but after 23 yrs sober, I can honestly say, I don't miss it a bit.

If you snore, you may want to look into sleep apnea. I still get micronaps, though much less frequent with treatment, where I "wake up" to realize I've missed time.
Ah, that makes sense then
Sounds familiar I have "quit" several times and never has taken even jail couldn't convince me. This time it's not me deciding it's my liver I've been having a sore feeling there for about the past week or so (I have an appointment) and I think it's either drink or die at this point. Luckily I am not having any other symptoms from it. And I just wanted to say hearing your stories have given me hope and I appreciate your openness and honesty about it.
Plus there is something sadly ironic that I can't stomach if I go through all this vaping stuff to save my life and then kill myself drinking.Back to your regularly scheduled vape programming.
In that case, I got nothingNo snoring I sleep great

I got lucky when I was much younger. My drinking was out of control and one night I got mad at the missus and went off to the bar where I discussed my aggitation with Mr Budweiser and Mr Jack Daniels. When I forgot I was mad at her, I went home and spun out a brand new two month old truck on a bridge and crushed the rear quarter panel in. Pushed in the clutch, started it up and drove home. Climbed into bed, talked with the missus a couple minutes and told her BTW I wrecked the truck, then passed out. A couple hours later she wakes me to go to work and we had it out. She told me her or the booze. I chose her even tho she is the kind of woman to drive a man to drink.
Now the only time I drink is rare occasions and only a beer or two. Think the last one was two or three years ago. So yeah, i got lucky. I use to drink Tequila and Whisky like it was water.

Had issues with my IPV4. One of them still hasnt updates and its the IPV4 connector that the problem. Try this, if your on a desktop PC, connect to the back of the PC. That worked for me on one of mine.

I know I can never drink again; I like it too much, and getting sober was so hard, I dunno if I could ever do it again, and I suspect not. After I'd been sober about, oh, 10-12 yrs I guess, I got on this kick to drink my (decaf) coffee with some vanilla flavoring, which is something like 40% alcohol (or more, not sure exactly). As long as I stuck with 1/2 tsp or less, no problem. But once, apparently I forgot that I had already added it, and did it again -- a full tsp of vanilla flavoring in a 9oz mug of coffee. Drinking it, maybe 3-4 sips into it, I started feeling that lovely tingling feeling, all thru my limbs; same feeling I got about 1/3 of the way thru my day's first beer. It felt so good.. and scared the living hell out of me. I had to choose: keep drinking it? No one would know. But my "disease", my alcoholic brain, would know... I guess that's what the Big Book means about the capacity to be honest. I knew it was a slope greased with butter and if I finished that cup, it wouldn't be long before I was buying beer again... so I dumped it out, and QUIT putting vanilla flavoring in my coffee.
Anyone just starting out, I *know* 90 meetings in 90 days sounds ridiculous... but it works (if you work it!); 90 meetings in 90 days gives you a damn good chance of making a year sober.

Just placed an order with EcigsExpress and Bullcity for DIY supplies. Tons of flavors on the way!
Iv got alcohol addiction in my genes, about 3 years ago I was drinking half a bottle of Jack Daniels every night(750ml bottles i think?) and idk how many over a weekend.. that plus pills i can barely remember anything from those times.. short story was able to kick it... hoping it doesnt come back like that since thats how its kinda been off and on since middle school...
But Congrats to yall who got off of it for good for your families!!

@chopdoc I'm on a laptop with 4 different usb ports. I got the SXi software to connect to the IPV but when I select the "upgrate" file it tells me - The file is unsupport Undefined. Idk, I've been using my Google-Fu skills but now I'm too fed up now.
I use to drink until I felt numb, and then drink a bunch more. My drinking friends knew if I was drunk I was unstoppable on a pool table so they fed me Tequila on the rocks all night long and at the end of the night give me money for they won big off of me. I drank free every night and got some money from it, life was good. Then I started having black outs. Was told one night I ran from the cops in my truck but all I knew is I woke up in my truck, foot on the brake, truck in gear and out of gas in my drive way. That scared me a bit. Then I met the missus and fell for her, and she had an alcoholic daddy and real horror stories from when she was a little girl. So when she told me it was her or the drinking, I knew she wasnt fooling around so for the most part I did quit drinking.
Had a while where i was liking Baileys with my coffee and didnt think it was a problem until she came inside one night and asked where the 50 some empty bottle of baileys in the shed came from...oops.
Did you download the upgrade file? You needed to download the installer program and the upgrade file. Once thats done and you are connected, you have to select the file to upgrade to.
