Heh, I was wondering when your next "I'm done" thread was going to be. Took longer than I expected, to be honest.

quitter :p

All the best to your endeavor. Personally, the fact that you could identify an issue means you ain't too far down the path. Try for 1 -3 beers a one of your braais. If you cannot stick to that then yeah, cold turkey.

My SexObject has been moaning I drink too much with the rugby buddies. So instead of turkey i just scaled down. Feel better, less 'headache' and weight drop.

Think you'll have much more than a headache if she finds out what you call her.

Not drinking too much around friends is really damn difficult I find, and if you are tipsy and they are hammered they quickly become annoying I find.

+1. Strange how drunk people always have an fixation on someone that recently quit or scaled down.

Busy watching my favorite Doc wandering around the TOPS on the CCTV , two minutes later he was at my office door asking where are "We" going drinking tonight....

:X3::X3:

"Sorry Doppies, no wingman tonight!", I stood tall, the old bearded man looking dejected....... wandered in solitary out the door to a local watering hole......
:barefoot:

Been there. But YOLO. Light that **** up. In 100 years time everyone on this planet will be dead. Plus my Scottish heritage prevents me from being a tea totaler

I use the Scottish heritage thing a lot........ until two days ago I was explaining to a customer/friend of mine who has been around the town for a very long time and worked with my late father, that it was difficult to give up drinking partly because of my heritage....

"Look Jimmy....", I said ," Think of all the Scots that worked on this mine over the past forty years, doctors, artisans,managers and Geologists, all of them......... tell me the name of at least one of them that was not a big drinker.............just one......"

Jimmy blinked, paused and replied......." Just tell me the name of one of them that is still alive today.........."

These were his peers and they were all deid!

:eek:

Good for you, Mortymoose. If you ever have the urge to start drinking again, remember to look on HO's face when you told her you're quitting.

I've been on a break for well over a month. And like I said before, these drunk ****ers is irritating me to no avail. Won't leave me alone around a braai.
Sad thing is, the wife say I was more irritable. :rolleyes: .........and loudest......
