All the best luck to you guys.
On a more practical note I'm a Muslim and have never drank except for a weekend in my life, and I hated alcohol. The vast majority of Muslim Americans do it by simply putting themselves in good company. Do the same! Good luck5x5....last sets:

Hey everyone, been a long time since I was here. Been almost 11 months since my last drink. I went to rehab in a 21 day program, then spent 6 months in a half way house. Now its been 4 months in supervised living and soon that is over. I am out on my own in june and I love it.
Just shut up and SQUAT!

Just found this thread. Not an alcoholic but have been drinking too much beer as of late. gained close to 40lbs from it. Stress and work have drove me to drink so I can deal with stress. I am going to search the thread before i ask any questions. Keep up the good job boys and girls and stay strong......

So i searched around and didnt see this asked.....sorry if i missed it and it has been asked before.
Since I have been drinking so much i notice allot of constipation. I was wondering what vitamins i can take to clean the toxins out of my body. I am okay with the diet and allot of water.
Thanks for any help

Abstaining from drinking too much may just be your answer. No vitamins/cleanse is going to "clean" you out.Originally Posted by wendel34
A mild laxative works for occasional irregularity, but you're 39, you know that, I hope.

It feels awesome. This weekend is my son Gabe, birthday as well as his day he died. He lived for just two hours. I feel sad, but good as it also marks my 11 month of being sober!

Sober for 5 months now. I'm still on the meds thou. Alchocol ruined whole last decade of my life. Few great girlfriends, few good jobs, everything is destroyed and gone. But I'm not surrender, this decade can be great if I stay sober, and I know I will!

Glad you are seeing the hope in it all Blacksmith!
Many of us give up when the reality of our lifestyle and actions starts to hit home. It's not easy or everyone would stay sober.
This day, this year, and this life can be great!

On another note my wife has been in a bad mood because of work the last few days and I feel the old intense anger and fear of rejection thing coming on. It's hard to respond in an appropriate manner when I don't know what I've been doing to precipitate anything. There are times when I have legit grievances but a lot of the time the underlying cause is me (usually me being mentally checked out for awhile or being on some anger loop).Last edited by JRT6; 05-08-2012 at 04:58 AM.
