Made a New Years Resolution to quit drinking and cant believe I'm coming up on one year sober, i stepped down daily starting jan 1st with my least favorite beer drinking less every day for 2 weeks, then after 2 weeks I started drinking Non Alcoholic beer. The last time I tried to quit I did it cold turkey and had terrible Night Terrors, was able to to avoid them this time thanks to the piss water know as Miller Lite. Went from drinking a 6 pack of IPA'S a day for years, to drinking a 6 pack of Non Alcoholic IPAs once a month. Will be quiting beer all together with the New Year!

Congrats, man! Glad to hear that watery crap beer has a use!

Lmao right?! It really made that first NA IPA hit the spot when I finally quit. Last time when I quit cold turkey I literally woke up from night terrors and bulldozed over a dresser next to our bed trying to get away from whatever it was I was dreaming about, almost scared my partner half to death. Withdrawals are a removed and I didn't have near as many thanks to that piss water haha

Thanks, its still insane to me that I am sober, even quit smoking weed a few months ago after starting up antidepressants. I wasn't a pot head i just a serotonin deficiency.
