The "I am coincidentally giving something up for 40 days" thread

I've quit drinking.

Long-term, I've resolved to quit drinking alone, but lately I've just been drink so goddamn much and frankly, it's having an impact. So I'm giving this a whirl.

The first step is knowing you have a problem.

Chad was later found dead from dehydration.

This is a risk.

I believe in you, Chad!! It's been 4 years since I went sober. You can do it!

I had noticed you seemed to be drunk posting a lot lately. Good to know you've got a handle on it.

Hmm. I'm giving up illegal drugs. Not that I partake in them a lot, but might as well put the last nail in that coffin.

I drink alcohol in moderation, and while I do use too much weed, I'm not quite ready to give it up yet, so...Nothing for me for the moment

I'm giving up soda, except club soda which is basically carbonated water and doesn't really count.

I drink soda fairly rarely, since I tend to take my liquor straight and drink coffee or water while at work. This is my attempt to kick the habit almost entirely.

This is one of the best changes I ever made in my life.

And I failed today.

Fall off the horse, get back on. We're here for you buddy.

Shakey · Feb 18, 2013

Don't let it be an excuse to give up. Try to figure out what the trigger was and try to learn from it.

Chad Sexington · Feb 19, 2013

Poured the rest down the draaaaaaain.

Good morning. I hope. I have coffee. Coffee is good.

Cajungal · Feb 19, 2013

Good man. Proud of you.

That's a step towards progress!

Hugs to you, Chad Sexington!

Since I'll be in New York on St. Patrick's Day, and probably not around Halforums for the week, I would like to preemptively state here that I will be drinking all the Guinness. And I don't even feel bad.

Emrys · Mar 8, 2013

Drink a couple for me too.

If you drink them all you will feel bad... until you rehydrate the next morning.

Fuck all of the things.

Why do we fall, Master Wayne?

Chad Sexington · Mar 29, 2013

Sigh. I feel like I just don't care anymore? Shit. I'm gonna go eat breakfast.

Don't worry if you strayed from your a bit, Chad. Be kind to yourself--you deserve that. I know you've been having a hard time. There's nothing I can do really, except say that you're in my thoughts. *hug* I hope you feel better.
