Another benefit for quitting drinking

[bif]

I used to have high blood pressure. A week after I quit drinking it went down to normal! Just one more reason it's improved my life!

2. When I became drug free, I lost

a lot of friends. I guess they weren't that good of friends anyway.

3. Yep

Same here, ends up not that big a loss really....

4. I withdrew from drinkers I had associated with..so I guess I

lost some friends.

But I gained me. It doesn't feel like a big deal after 20 years
but I love, love feeling in control.

7. I'm lucky. I didn't lose any friends because

None of my friends were as big of drinkers as I was. It seems like heavy drinkers have friends who are drinkers, and that's just about all they have in common. So when they lose them as friends, they' really aren't losing a whole lot.

5. Enjoy your freedom. You are no longer a slave to some substance. Good on ya.

Been there.

6. good for you....

haven't quit, but cut WAY back. BP is now normal, weight is where I was at in high school (lost 30 lbs.) and cholesterol is 109. Worth it...
