I Quit!Scaryduck writes, "I celebrated my last day on my paper round by giving everybody next door's paper, and the house at the end 16 copies of the Maidenhead Advertiser. And I kept the delivery bag. That certainly showed 'em."
What have you flounced out of? Did it have the impact you intended? What made you quit in the first place?

good luck, mateOne day at a time; one foot in front of the other and keep going. I gave up for 2 years due to the medication I was on. It's very, very boring being the only sober person in the room but it's lovely waking up the next morning feeling good.
Are you in England? I ask because the attitude to non-drinkers here is one of suspicion, yet it's so much better than the attitude to non-drinkers in Ireland - suspicion, hostility, wariness, taunting and the rumours that I was pregnant (what, for two years?). Don't let people's lack of comprehension put you off.
Alcoholism runs in my family. It killed my uncle and grandfather, it hospitalised my sister, and my childhood involved my father drinking heavily, a lot, with associated problems. I've been using it as a crutch lately and that's got to change, so I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you as I sip my soda water and orange.
