I've decided to cut back on my drinking.

No this is not a belated April's Fools joke either.

Last night (after a few stiff ones ) we poured the rest of our vodka down the sink.

I've just realized that over the past year or so it's increased and some of the "fun" has been replaced with hangovers and feeling like shit the next day (I'm an old bitch). So it's become kind of pointless and more of a habit than anything else and that concerns me a bit. I have this fear that years from now all the excessive habit-drinking will hit at once and we'll end up some cliche gay version of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Not today, honey.

I know this is gonna cut on some of the johnart joke material, so I'm posting this to give you time to come up with some new stuff.

good for you

all joking aside, i think it's best to stop if you really feel it is turning into something not fun. good for you.

I'll say good for you as well!

I've been that way for a long time now. Whenever I go out, I usually have a couple of drinks and call it a night.

Once or twice a year I tie one on, and wind up feeling like holy hell the next day. Every time I do, I say/feel/think the same you are now. Why didn't I stop sooner? It's just not worth all the after effects. (Not to mention sometimes I need two days to recover)!

Talk about pending Apocalypse, I've lost 13 lbs in the past month.

This is not the first time I've tried as I'm trying now, it's just the first time it has actually worked. This is all under Dr's supervision, (diagnosed Type 2 diabetic last month), so I'm on meds and such, but this time it's all working. I can see it now, Lord blesses me with better health and weight loss just in time for the end of existence.

You'll hear no jokes from me johnart. You're fabulous with or without the booze.

I know this.

OOH congrats on the weight loss!

Yeah, and the next thing you'll tell me is that there is no Santa Claus or Easter Bunny.

talk about an attention whore!

Exactly!

This site has too many people who do nothing but call attention to themselves!

It still pisses me off to no end that this strategy works for people like Johnart.

I hate them so much, I'm going to trash talk about them in the P M&M forum.

Popular ass orgers.

I think that's a good thing!

I've cut my drinking back to only on the weekends. No more liquid lunches at my favorite spots. I've heard they pooled their resources together and put out an APB on me.

Seriously though, you'll be glad you've cut back. All those empty calories do start sticking after while and us old bitches don't need that shit!

Wait.

I also hate all the attention you get too.

This shit is pissing me off now.

I feel like Christina Aguilera looking at the builboard 100 and seeing Lady Gaga's new single at the top.

PISSES ME OFF

I like to say "Vodka hurts more than it used to."

More alters does not equal more attention.

This woman's reaction is EXACTLY how I feel when I walk into a johnart thread!

So good for you Johnart!

Lately I don´t even like my favorite drinks anymore. I can´t even stand the smell of alcohol. Sometimes I have the occasional glass of wine or a bottle of beer (though I don´t like beer) but I think this will be a very sober year for me. Unless it´s hot outside and some friends want to drink with me.

That's great! Now you can buy more garden stuff
