Well guys. A long time ago I posted here bout depression and such. You guys strongly suggested I stop drinking.After realising that a number of people wanted me to stop. And well.. one really important person. I stopped. At first it was just for her.. however, now I think its pretty much for good.I was actually thinking earlier today.. "hmm.. been a while I could go for a drink".. then I had a realization that my actual father is an alchohalic bastard I don't even really know because I haven't seen him since I was about 5.And I began thinking about all the people who wanted me to stop drinking. A teacher, a number of my friends. Even a co worker I use to work with warned me against it.Its kinda ironic I got lectured on it when I drank maybe once every 3 months. Not to mention its my understanding one of the people who wanted me to quit now drinks on a pretty regular basis. Actually alot of them do. Heh. bit of irony there.Anyway I guess I just thought I'd come back and post again on it since it was sorta heavily stressed I quit. I still can't help but, find it a bit wierd I guess. I'm 19 now. I always drank legally. With parents as the law dicatates I can do in my state. I guess the fact that I still want to drink is proof enough I shouldn't do it again. The feelings of life being pointless are still about the same.. however, at least now I can say that I will not fall into the social normalcy of drinking away problems or using substances to deal with reality. Oh well. I think.. i just may be done with the bottle for good. I won't say I am for sure... I'm not that arrogant. However,right now the fact that I still want to.. will serve as a testament to the fact that I shouldn't.

Congratulations!It truly is hard to quit an addiction! As I've quit one myself.It never is a bad thing to stop drinking or stop using some substance that makes you forget/lighten the present situation.Anyways, Good Luck. Keep Holding On!

Meh I can't really say it was an "addiction" at least not yet xD.
Its hard to call something you do quite literally once every three or four months an addiction. I'm not really bragging or anything. Just once upon a time I posted here.. and quitting was heavily emphasized. So since I did. I figured might be nice to do somehting of a follow up xD.
My only true addiction is video games.

Its hard to call something you do quite literally once every three or four months an addictionThe fact that you're still thinking about taking a drink makes it sound like it WAS an addiction. Good job on stopping though. You quit before it got too bad.
