I think the guitarist in my band was a little surprised when I turned down a beer at band practice last week :p

I haven't mentioned I'm quitting to anyone but you guys. Didn't want to make a big deal of it.

Good on ya for trying to cut back man! Your body will thank you.

What's the latest on this new craze?

Still going strong man. Managing to keep occupied with a course I'm doing so that's been helping.

Just that.... quitting.

Do you mean for how long or something?

I've seen my share of train wreck alcoholics and I'm happy that you are trying to get off that path, just wanted to know if you had some sort of plan. ;)

speaking of which: my boss has been calling and leaving frantic messages on my VM because the club is apparantly wall-to-wall right now. It hasn't been filling up wedsnesday nights, so he closed the sidebar (I didn't want to work wednesday anyway) I wonder what kind of cattle will be in the wet t-shirt contest... where the hell is urgeok...

oh wow I meant to edit my last post...

triple post, eat it skanks.

No plan just doing it. I quit smoking so it can't be much harder than doing that :D

Haha a wet t-shirt contest? That's bound to fill the joint up with muppets.

Oh yeh and excuse my ignorance but what's a VM?

Glad to hear that you seem to be doing well with quitting drinking.

and if I'm not mistaken, VM would mean Voice Mail?

I am so moving there... Just kidding bro.
I go through the same struggle, man. Booze has been my downfall for many years. It is currently ruining my relationship with my GF. We both don't know when to say when. We get to a point and argue and say hurtful things to each other. It sucks but I need substance abuse. It's just who I have always been. I hate most people and the weed and booze help me not hate them as much. I have stopped using all hard drugs. No more pills, coke, ext. I hope it all works out, Elvis. Sometimes all you need is a little break. That's what I do. :cool:
