/ck/ - Food & Cooking

On January 8th it will be four years to the day since I quit drinking. Despite all the physical and mental damage my alcoholism did - and it bears mentioning, this includes getting an almost-fatal staph infection from drinking out a broken whiskey bottle, which was surgically excised without anaesthetic due to its location on my upper lip - I didn't quit drinking until I was given a six-pack of leftover beer from a New Years party and I realized that I would never be able to do the same, because the concept of having "leftover beer" was to me a complete impossibility.

tl;dr you really don't need a good reason to quit drinking, and not everybody needs sobriety, but if you are an alcoholic then you can get your life back if you stop drinking. Anyone can do it.
