One Year Without Alcohol...... 7

Not a drop. My health feels way too good now to fuck it up with alcohol, plus my liver wont take it.
But I plan on taking the mother of all bridgesii trips over the holidays, hopefully with y best friend (a great pro musician) A two-footer of fat bridge should do me...

What do people who don't drink do for fun? I would never go out and have a coke at the pub.

For fun--I play musical instruments. Getting ready to record. And Troll the political forum... 
How did I stop drinking? Well, when you liver is failing, your body swelling up with water, and you don't have enough energy to get out of bed, and you are sick all the time, and have HCV and the doctor says your liver might last a year if you start drinking (now that I am cured of HCV) then it is kind of easy not to drink.

I haven't drank in 2 weeks which is unusual for me. I just got to a point where I was tired of feeling like shit weekend mornings every weekend. Also, I have atopic dermatitis and have had massive improvements in my skin where i have flare ups(it's like dandruff) Haven't had to use some prescription cream at all this week which I have needed to use for the last few years. I never knew it was alcohol contributing to that issue. 
I'll still drink but not like I was. Glad you are doing well.

No, but I brought up amphetamines. That was one of the few drugs they are OK with, with the caveat that you keep your blood pressure down. HIGH bp can cause portal vein hypertension. Alcohol is definitely the last thing one should consume if they have chronic hepatitis.

Keep it up, dude. I had almost 3 years under my belt until about 3 weeks ago. This time of year is ultra hard for me to resist....I love the Fall beer selection.
It's crazy, because I had such a strong resolve until the very moment I decided to have another beer. So, look out....the temptation is always there!
It was a beautiful fungus experience (4g dried Golden Teachers and 2.2g dried APE, all down the hatch at once) that got me to stop in the first place. I have had some issues with booze throughout my life, and the mushies told me to stop. So I listened...until recently....and I kinda regret it. Gonna have to start at "Day 1" again soon, which is never fun.
Good luck!
