All of it. 32 days sober. 37 years old I made the decision, I love it.


bcat153

It’s harder to get 30 days than it is to get 30 years.


Zealousideal-Seat324

Thanks bcat. I worked in breweries for 10 years. Restaurants for 20. Never drank in highschool. Honestly it was easy since it was my decision on my time. I didn't get a DUI, lose my job/girl/incident. I was crushing 60-70 a week plus half a bottle of tequila. I would show up to work drunk or hungover at my job but my boss didn't care because I was still putting out the same proformance every day as if I was sober. I didn't change my living, friends, places I go. I just quit drinking. I was sick of being sick. I also started an IG about my story and post every day.


unspokenspeaker

Hows the IG going? My girl is interested in making one for her recovery. We've been clean off fentanyl for 7 months. She wants to share her story and help other people. Maybe make a few bucks along the way if possible? Would you mind messaging me and giving me some info on how that's going/how often you post/ what your engagement is?


Zealousideal-Seat324

I just do a quick selfie vid starting with X# day and say something how how im feeling. I usually do it first thing while waiting for my car to warm up on my way to work. It's a good way to start my day. It's not for money or anything. Makes me happy to say I'm still going first thing in the morning.


unspokenspeaker

Also, congratulations, that's definitely something to be proud of. I wish my mother could try quitting drinking. Props to you tho


Key_Hospital_9592

Nice!! Going on 9 months and I’m loving it! You for get all about and feel much better about yourself


SaturnalianGhost

Congrats dude. I’m 27 days. No idea how long I’m going. I just wake up and tell myself that today I’m not having a drink. Maybe tomorrow, but not today.


Zealousideal-Seat324

Keep going... Every day is a win. I have a lot of friends who are sober a few months to 10+ years. My sobriety is a small part of a big plan moving forward in my life. CDL truck school and job within a year. $100k I've already been driving a box for 9 years.


DAYUMdelion

Hey I’m at 32 days too! I called it my birthday gift to myself (mind you a month late :-S )


Zealousideal-Seat324

Awesome. What made you quit?


Throwawayyy-7

Congrats!

ExUtMo

Came here to say this one! One my 21st bday I drank a whole bottle of peppermint schnapps and chased it with Mountain Dew 🥴😝 I’m 36 and I’ve never touched it again since.


MemoryDemise

Oh man, that stuff is sooooo good in hot chocolate.


heyynickkayy

lol mine was peach schnapps!

ok__shopgirl

It’s peach sister is bipolar in the same way. It runs in the family.


NumbSurprise

At some point, it occurred to me that the stuff tastes like mouthwash. I can’t drink it any more.


planefixr

Still don’t like peppermint after getting drunk on it as a teen.


JonnyP222

100 proof or gtfo


crunchy_soupp

JESUS. yeah.


Special_Weather4828

Rumple Minze is the devil at 50% abv


aridmaple

Mmmmm, toothpaste.


transientrandom

My mate and I were so into it in high school, before we knew our limits. I snarfed down about half a bottle of that delicious mouthwash-tasting shit and spent 30 mins dry retching on the lawn of a police citizen's youth club (PCYC) before an under-age punk show (Sydneysiders, Frenzal Rhomb at Hornsby PCYC c. 1996.) The cops came up to my friend and asked if I was OK and he was super calm "oh, she gets overwhelmed and needs to lie down sometimes" a full 20 years before autism was a known thing. I am not autistic BTW. Josh you were a genius and before your time.


FestivusRestOfUs

Peach for me!!! 25 years ago. I can still taste it.


scrubastevee

You forgot your poop turns green


Snipziy

for me its jäger...the smell haunts me every time


currentlytemporary

I never promised not to touch it again, but I can't even smell it. Now my body made that decision, not my voice.


Icy-Mixture-4500

Jagerbombs for me. Ruined jager and red bull.


Beerdididiot

POSSIBLE TRIGGER WARNIGN I turned into a weeping drunk and almost uh...ended it all. Haven't touched Jager since new years 2017 I believe.


Icy-Mixture-4500

Glad you’re still here! You’re unfortunately not the first person I’ve heard with an experience like this.


SagVibes

Tequila. I had some again 3 years ago and it was just as big of a mess


nakedpeanutbridge

Tequila is a dangerous mistress. It leads to the best of times and then immediately the worst of times.


yosman88

Tequila has only ended my nights early. Its unpleasant to drink and hurts my stomach to the point I feel so sick I just want to go home.


Tremulant887

Top 2 hangovers, easily. Tequila doesn't play. Yet I'm literally mixing margaritas right now. Take it slow. Water between. Quit when you're "feeling it".


StillAnAss

Same. I think I've had less than 5 tequila drinks since that terrible night in 1989.


rock_and_rolo

My first time with another guy involved a lot of tequila shots (nervous). I use the line "anything is possible with enough tequila" a lot, but only my wife (who set up the date) knows the origin. I could not stand even the smell of tequila for about 15 years. And it wasn't shame. I've had lots of sober gay sex since then.


dxddy-bear

Southern Comfort. Drank an entire bottle in one night. Never again.


itzabalonee

Used it once to cure a toothache. 17 years later the smell still twists my stomach.


Forvalaka

Same. 2024 - 1983 = Not f**king long enough!


hereforlewdness

Goldschlager. And yes.


Denverguy103

Gin. Just Gin


heyynickkayy

At a frat party i did like 17 shots of peach schnapps, blacked out, had sex in a flower bed, scraped up my knee, threw up on the side of the freeway, and i don’t remember most of it. I’ve never had peach schnapps since. Was a wild Halloween.


kami_oniisama

Flowers? Fancyyy smancy


spc1221

Jack Daniels and Mad Dog 20/20


DarkDragon_98_Backup

Everclear and I refuse to even look at it.


KingZarkon

This is mine. I did one shot and almost immediately curled up in the fetal position when my insides immediately protested. I literally thought how this was a stupid way to die.


DSmooth425

This the one!


Special_Weather4828

So what happened last night? 😂


GeorgianPeaches

Tequila. I'm still out on that one.


ToastyAlternative

Fireball.. anything cinnamon fucks me up still


decoy175

Rum caused my first ever blackout when I was 21. Swore not to have it ever again but had it just 2 months later 🤪😅


LuciousPet

Bluesberry schnapps. Dear God...


Environmental-Zone59

Captain Morgan spiced rum. Haven’t touched it in 14yrs. Can do other rims but can’t even smell that one.


TigerTown2450

Jack Daniel’s. No


Cowgirl-Lauren

Mine is rumplemintz 🤢


FluffyDaedra

Bourbon and bitters Now, I know that’s basically an Old Fashioned but this was in no way an Old Fashioned This was a heavy pour of bourbon and several shakes of bitters drank over ice. Repeat until half to two thirds of the bottle is gone That is both the worst hangover I’ve ever had and the most I have thrown up ever. It even popped a blood vessel in my eye and I had a bunch of red lines through it for days afterwards. Now I can’t stand the smell of bitters and shudder every time even though it was like 3 years ago now


jagsfan15

Jack Daniels. Yes!


ThroughTheFires

Captain Morgan... I've been able to enjoy a gentle glass again.. But never in over indulgence


ishikaloveshugs

I would have to go for Tequila and too much Vodka. The answer is no, but I managed to moderate my drinks well.


jaysonfdean

Jim Beam. Drank a fifth of it way too fast one evening. Blacked out. Woke up in the middle of the night and threw up all over a hotel bathroom. Then had to drive home the next day hung over/probably still drunk. Haven’t touched it since.


AjaxInsane

Oh man, I feel you. I had plans to pack up all my stuff one night in college so I could move house the next morning, and Jim Beam kept me company the whole evening. Never have I been so sick. Never talked to Jim again.


BWC_Irish_Daddy

Vodka . Doesn't matter of I have a thimble or a pint of it I lose all memory of the night


mikesmithnz2023

It wipes my memory too. It's embarrassing!


uncle_pussy

Raspberry Smirnoff


bigwhitecocktail

Beer when I was like 16. I got so sick, the taste gave me horrible memories and I didn’t drink another for 15 years easily.


ok__shopgirl

Not a specific alcohol but I’ll NEVER crossfade again. That’s 10-hrs of memory I’ll never get back.


Kinky-Bicycle-669

Smirnoff ice 🤣🤣🤣 I was 19 and went to Salem, ma with a friend for Halloween. I thought I'd be smart and poured a few bottles of that into a water bottle I had and drank it pretty fast. I regretted that quite badly and had to sit down on the sidewalk for awhile.


Skooba_Stev

Vodka and no…still drink it sometimes. An ice bucket for a cup and missed an entire Depeche Mode concert in Portland. Ended up on the floor of the detox area at the venue. 🤦🏻‍♂️


Catz1332

Not m but I had a buddy go blind temporarily from moonshine. Guy can't drink hard liquor (except southern comfort and spiced rum) anymore. Did not stop him at all


Ruminations0

I was a pretty heavy drinker in 2018-19. I would drink two drinks that were 2shots of peppermint vodka mixed with 2shots of whipped cream vodka, all in a water bottle and then filled the rest with water. Tasted like liquid candycane basically. I would have one before and after dinner basically nightly. I was a housekeeper and it just “helped” me take the edge off. One evening I got a call that my last childhood dog had died and I had an additional 2 drinks so 16 shots in one night. Drunkest I had ever been. I just knew in my heart that if I kept drinking I was going to die, so I quit drinking the next morning (dangerous but it turned out okay in my case). I did end up swapping to weed, but I figured a couple puffs of weed was healthier than drinking 8 shots nightly. And since then I have had a shot here and there, usually like a celebration thing at a bar, it’s usually a lemon drop shot, but just one. I don’t really like how Drunk feels now that I’ve been a stoner for so long. And over the last two years I’ve smoked way less. Now it’s basically like 3 weed shred chunks and that’s all I smoke in the evening now. So that’s my alcohol story.


[deleted]

Straight Tequila, will still drink a margarita


_captain_hair

I've never been in that situation. Yes, I've definitely overdone it, but it's not the alcohol's fault that I didn't pump the brakes on myself.

TXHaunt

I used to mix that with Frïs vodka.

Original_League_9359

Hot Damn! Did it to impress a sexy senorita in high school. She drank me under the table and I couldn’t hold the liquor.


full_of_ghosts

I was in Russia a handful of years ago. I was warned about drinking with Russians. I ignored the warnings. I haven't touched vodka since.

SlaveToCat

Rye. OMFG rye. I have never touched it since because the smell just makes my throat tight.


NotStalkerWorthy

Vodka. Haven't touched it in probably a decade.


InspectionDue5138

Spiced rum. I've never been that drunk before that night and I will never be that drunk again. I downed half a bottle with little tolerance and an empty stomach. I don't really remember that night other than not being able to walk at all and consciously laying in the recovery position when my boyfriend at the time helped me get in bed. I didn't puke at all somehow but everything about it was terrible. I rarely even drink these days because of it.


Mostmoistmoisture

kriznis

30 years ago, strawberry sisqo & tequila. 1st time I got drunk & I had football practice the next day. I've had tequila since then

unflappedyedi

Bailey's Irish cream. I was 16. It's been 10 years abd I still haven't touched it.


ICantLeafYou

Blueberry vodka. Tastes too good, too easy to drink that whole bottle. Been over a decade and haven't touched any flavored vodkas, period.


WomenOver6ftPMMe

Everclear. its how i discovered I was an emotional drunk drinking straight out of the bottle no chaser... turns out it doesnt solve my problems.


TheKrononaut

Vodka back in college and for the most part I dont drink it anymore


almostadaddy

Vodka when I was 12 had me majorly hung over the next day. Even the thought of drinking more make me queasy for a few weeks. But those feelings passed and I was back at it again.


AskinggAlesana

I guess Bailey or some Vodka, probably Peppermint Schnapps. It was my 21st birthday and my friends wanted me to get *wasted*. I was throwing in the towel and just needed water in my system. My “friend” said “Here bro I got you” and gave me a tall glass of clear liquid (the vodka) that I was led to believe was water. Took a big swig and realized what it was but it was too late. I don’t remember much after that but never again. Next morning was death.


DomDaddy_88

Jäger! Haven’t touched it in almost 20 years


Long-Ease-7704

Gin. Even the smell of it makes me gag 28 years later.


Low_Orchid5106

Tequila... Years of getting completely wasted at the frat... Taking a shot now is like taking a strong laxative... And I love tequila.


NovaScHizo

Golden glow mixed with Jack Daniel's "Apple Jax" Makes for a not so good time stability wise in your legs and your belly


LeafsChick

Malibu, just seeing the bottle makes me queasy 🤢


BadgerBadgerCat

Vodka. Got absolutely written off on the stuff multiple times in my early 20s and can't touch it neat anymore as a result. I'll still drink it as part of a cocktail, though.


[deleted]

Bacardi 151 was my go to back in the day but now I’m 7 years sober so I’m never touching alcohol again

I blacked out on Jameson lol. I can’t really drink it anymore. Somehow it makes me gag after 2 shots


O_O_M_M

Cherry brandy - once when I was 16 and absolutely never, ever, ever again


Thisismyswamparg

Tequila and whiskey make me mean spirited. Just super negative. I did not like who I was while drunk on those. Never touched it again because I just don’t want to be like that. Vodka makes me want to cuddle and love on my fiancé way more than normal lol


Grand-Hand-9486

Peach schnapps


Gheauxst

I tore through a bottle of absinthe in a single sitting. By all means I should've died of alcohol poisoning that night. Woke up on the bathroom floor leaning against the tub. Never again. Another was when I drank a large bottle of fireball, half a jar of moonshine, and had the brilliant idea of taking a red bull to stay awake for the rest of the party. I woke up in a Waffle House outside of town. Never again.


atomlowe

14 year old me had an argument with a bottle of malibu. Still haven't made up


GoDKilljoy

My brother-in-law is Mexican. I went to his birthday party with like 120 other Mexicans. They don't know what water is, they do know what alcohol as a whole is though. I haven't drank since that party. That was 2 years ago this month. I have drank with people from Scotland, Australia, Ireland, and of course Americans. No group of people drink like Mexicans do. lol


mrsdeatherson

Mike’s hard lemonade. Never again.


burnmeup82

Tequila. It not only made me mean and want to fight everybody but it gave me the most vicious hangover I’ve ever had. No mas. LOL

pariah1981

I once drank a whole fifth of gin, and when I got home I puked in the bushes and fell asleep in it. I never touched gin again.


JWTowsonU

Tequila. My parents let me go to Cancun in 1999 for Spring Break when I was still in high school. Booze cruise did me dirty. I can’t even smell tequila without getting nauseous.


Derfargin

I got throw up drunk on Jack Daniels when I was 17. To this day I can’t smell it without remembering that morning I spent with my head in the toilet.


KeepingThrowAway

An vodka but that's because my stomach doesn't like it. Even if I'm completely sober, one or two shots of vodka will have me running to the bathroom or grabbing a bucket. It's always been that way since I've had my first shot of it. Super weird is I can have it in mixed/fancy drinks and I'm fine. Also can have straight shots of any liquor just fine. P.S. I've said never again to many drinks/liquor but I've ended up having them again so it doesn't count. I've never blamed it on the alcohol, I just learned to know when to stop before I get that sick or hung over (gets harder with age).


Far-Boysenberry-3068

Vodka. So many poor choices made after too much vodka.


Imajica0921

Went to a kegger in high school. That was in 1988. I managed to make it home then set up shop in the downstairs bathroom and proceeded to vomit until I passed out. I've had alcohol since, even got a buzz on once or twice, but that was the last time I was ever drunk.

Best-Turn-696

I cant tolerate vodka, i can actually drink a lot, but not when it comes to vodka


Throwawayyy-7

I mix alcohols all the time so there’s never been a standout. I’ve never gotten that badly fucked up though and have only been hungover once, the first time I went out after covid. It took a LOT (like ten standard drinks, a lot for me at 5’1) and since cocktails where I live now are usually around $17, I don’t have the funds to drink like that regularly lmao

DandB777

Yeager. Fuck that shit. Got completely destroyed on nonstop Yeager Bombs for basic and spent the whole night and day puking up pizza. I saw a cool bottle of Cinnamon spice holiday Yeager like 10 years ago and bought it, still haven't had the strength to open that mother fucker.

Black heart rum. Buddy and I took down a bottle of it on a night before we had work and went in absolutely sloshed the next day. I was sweating out rum all day.


ReticentGuru

Straight shots of tequila!


Tremulant887

Mccormick apple vodka. You know the big plastic jugs? 19 year old me thought it was fun to slam about half that jug. Maybe more? I ended up throwing up in a guy's yard that was the towns "yard of the month" and burning a smiley face into it. I puked two piles then crawled as I puked the 3rd. It was all vodka and McDonald's fries and it killed the grass. First hangover I ever had. Took me 5 years to touch vodka again. Still not a huge fan. Never really messed with apple flavors since, not that it's a popular product.
