Get on this. A lad joined the gym I go to at the end of October. He's only 10 weeks sober and has torched off 3 stone in weight already

I was chatting to him earlier. I noticed he had slimmed down a lot so I asked him if he's on some sort of crazy weight loss diet

He said no. All he did was fuck the liquor off. Said he still eats like a pig and still enjoys the odd take away on weekends

He puts in a good 3 to 4 hours per week in the gym mind, but fuck me, 3 stone in 10 weeks is some going in fairness

I'm about 3 stone lighter now than when I was pissed up. But that took about 6 to 8 months to drop off me

Just goes to show the benefits of quitting like, doesn't it?

Crazy isn't it?

Decided I'm off it meself now, wouldn't say I am a big drinker anyway but the past couple of months with the run up to Christmas and NYE have been full of boozed up nights which has made me gain weight!

I'd say its the day after a night out that kills me though, I just eat pure shite all day and night sometimes a takeaway dinner and tea on the same day to fight the hangover.

Not good at all.

The thing that makes me laugh is people who set new years resolutions to only drink on Friday and Saturday

Even if you only drink 6 pints on each night, that's still almost 2000 calories

You'd need to spend over 3 hours on a cross-trainer just to burn that off

That's not even including the shite you're likely to eat after a night on the piss

I must admit ive lost weight but im sure ill put it on now ive my appetite back :) Havent felt this good for ages if im honest. I can go from day to day not budgeting for my next beer etc. Instead of a beer etc i go to the model shop and get another tin of model paint for my current builds. Very satisfying. Also , i bought my first pair of jeans in years with the money i saved from not drinking :)


Hope you are doing well.

Thanks guys , i appreciate it. Ill be honest , although its only been two months im finding it very easy to not even think about a drink. Not sure what is different this time , maybe the knowledge that i was almost dead just before detox helped. By all accounts im lucky to still be here so i think its time i took the chance and did something worthwhile.

I hope everyone else is doing ok as well :)

Not sure if I'm giving up forever yet, but I'm 30 days into doing 122. I picked 122 because I did that in prison and I figured, if I can do 122 days in there with all its negatives and not drink because it was impossible to get hold of, then I can simply not drink for 122 days when i can literally do everything else. Most of the time I don't miss it.

Moments I have found difficult so far are

-getting back home after the Wolves game and doing a massive shift in a bar - really desperate to have a couple of pints after that shift, especially as I finished and went to meet my girlfriend in a boozer open later than mine

-arriving in Liverpool for the Chelsea game with 2 and a half hours till the match on my own - time usually reserved for boozing, but forced myself into the ground an hour and 20 minutes before kick off and managed it.

-and finally a Sunday night where me and my girlfriend met five other mates and everyone's drinking but me. Tell you what, I really find the pub boring as fuck when I'm sober. There's no motivation to stay whatsoever and I end up convincing my girlfriend to leave about 10/half 10 and go home because I'm really not inclined to listen to people who have had 8/9/10 pints over the course of the day talk total bollocks at me. I still enjoy it as a meeting point, for a catch up, for a bite to eat, but I really struggle to spend anything longer than 2 hours in one boozer.

Positives are that I've spent the money I would have spent on more Liverpool games which is something I've always wanted to do (plus I've had no problem going the games and singing without drinking which I thought might be a stumbling bock), and I'm nearly out of my overdraft. Plus I do a big 10-15 mile cycle ride once a week and have started cycling everywhere again rather than getting the bus which is good as I don't do much exercise beyond that.

Carl mate thats boss - well done fella. The greatest compliment I can say to you is your persistent desire to stop, even when you've fallen off the wagon, you go again - that's determination is a feature of who you are and it's a brilliant Characteristic.

I went out for a bite to eat with my old man not so long ago. Went to one of the local haunts where I used to drink on occasion. It's been almost ten years since I've been in there and literally nothing has changed. Looked around and saw the same regular faces, sitting in the same old places, talking the same old bollox, complaining about the same old shite and drinking the same old "pint of the usual". The only difference is they've clocked up a few more wrinkles and grey hairs since I last saw them

And I'm not talking about old geezers here. I'm talking about guys my age (35) who I went to school with and played football with. Pissing their health away, pissing their money away and just pissing their lives away in general. You often here people say "ah I'd miss going out and having a laugh with the lads if I gave it up". The truth is there's nothing to miss. They'll all probably still be there in ten years time and they probably will have never even noticed that you left

Pubs are boring as hell when sober. Its just dull and to be honest you need to be pissed to tolerate the wankers at times. Its something i dont miss. Talking to my doctor the other day and my LFT results which should be 0-60 have gone from 1646 to 82 since detox. I said to him i do group sessions etc and if i am ever asked if its worth knocking it on the head i tell the truth. Its fucking hard but fuck me its worth it by a long way. Ive had some good piss ups etc but the lows far outweigh the plusses. Then again i can now say ' did '.

That's great to hear Carl. Well done. When you pass day 50 you'll really start to notice the benefits of quitting. That's when you'll really come out of the daze and realize what a complete and absolute utter shit show drinking actually is.

Well done mate. Seen you in here a lot so congratulations, I'm pleased things are moving in the right direction.

I've made it to 43 days today checking my app. It says I've saved about Ł246 based on my drinking habits and would you believe it, my overdraft is roughly Ł200 nearer getting paid off. So feel better overall, and I'm closer to paying off my overdraft (or replacing my laptop ;D )

At least 79 days for me to go to reach the 122.

Keep it up SHF!

I made 50 days yesterday. Although I've got an end date I'm still not really missing it. Made it out of my overdraft this week also. Going to go into the bank in a week or two and ask them to remove the facility once I've got enough to last on.

Ok guys i lapsed. My Fiancee dumped me and i just resorted back to memory loss via alcohol. Its just a lapse and it is ending. I have been offered a job which is good. Im playing guitar a lot more for now considering i was close to quitting. Just another kick in the fucking balls that i will have to recover from.

Sorry to hear that but as long as it's just a lapse it's no big deal. I quit in December 2014 I think and relapsed one night for similar reasons to you about 10 months ago but told myself it's a one-off, didn't beat myself up about it and been sober again ever since. How you react to it is far more important than the relapse itself. But you know that already so you'll be fine.

Have you got the court case coming up?  Can't be easy if you do...

Well, I can see your point...

But that won't make you any happier will it?
