Quitting Alcohol

[Stubborn_bowhunter]

Now, I DO have an addictive side when it comes to buying outdoors related stuff!

I've found that I tend to lack a "moderation" switch in my brain. Anything I get into... I get really into.

The key for me is pointing that obsessive compass direction at more positive things.

I have the same problem. I jump into whatever I'm doing with both feet. I used to smoke. quit, started again and within a week was back to a pack a day. Finally quit smoking and chewing a good ten years ago.

Proud to say that on September 18th I celebrated 6 months sober. Not ready to share the story of why I quit yet, but suffice it to say I did. Cold turkey. This thread has been a tremendous help. lots of support and pride with those that quit and it helps to read others stories. Keep up the good work everyone!! And keep posting your stories and milestones.

Same here and I'm now diving down the archery rabbit hole...again. Cycling through archery, reloading and accuracy, walleye fishing, and personal health keep me occupied throughout the year. Lord help me if I leap into shotshell reloading.

30 days in. Down 10-12 lbs. a few random days of irritability but overall good. I haven’t bought candy or sugary treats in probably 10 years. But I find myself craving it at times. I guess my body was use to all those empty calories.

I'm almost 2 years completely sober, used to drink a bottle a night.. was a wreck for many years.
Once I started running few days a week cardio really help me with mental ease.. as well as tiring my body down to want to feel good and get a good nights sleep.

I lift now once or twice a week, and run 2-3 times a week just start eating good whole foods too mostly.. quit as much sugar as you can.. sleep good, and get regular exercise and your whole life will change.
