G-Man,
I stopped drinking 7/3/00 after being a farily regular drinker for the previous 20+ years. There are rewards, trust me! Yes, there is accomplishment, every day is its own reward. How much more clearly I see life when I am not numbed by alcohol. True, there will be times where you may wish to savor a beer or two, that's going to happen. But when you resist, and life goes on just as well, you have a little victory right there! I also went from 195 to 160 pounds (I'm 6'1"). That was pretty interesting in its own right! Wellbutrin may have both a)helped me to stop having the urge to drink and b) helping me lose weight. There are a lot of calories in beer!
If this is what you want to do, quit drinking, hang in there, I assure you, the good feelings will come. Mark your progress: 1 month 6 months a year etc....celebrate your achievments be proud at your success! Good luck! You can do it.PAX
