Now that it's getting warmer down south I'm starting to get that "patio day drinking" itch... And then I realize that I can still enjoy a beautiful day sans alcohol. And in fact I really do enjoy the day more so when I'm sober so high five! How long have you been sober Ff2? 3.6 years. It was like I really didn't have a choice. It was giving me a life I was sick of living. I wasn't even enjoying being drunk. It was totally 100 percent a habit. I didn't know anything else since I was 14. There was no big come to Jesus moment. Mrs. FF2 wasn't even pushing for it. No one knew how bad I felt inside. People who found out I stopped never thought I had a problem. I don't look down on people who drink a lot either, if they are OK with it. Maybe they can fit it into their life like I couldn't. There comes a time that you need to live the life YOU want. And don't get all down on yourself. You're a young guy making his way through life, there will be bumps. Congrats to you on even thinking about bettering yourself. I didn't have that ability at your age. |

I used alcohol as a coping mechanism. I went undiagnosed with anxiety, moderate obsessive disorder, and major depression for the majority of my life. I have always hated being drunk. I think for as long as I've said I was going to quit drinking (if you'll remember I created the Sober Corner thread a few years ago) I think what I really meant was I needed to figure out what the hell was driving me to drink to cope for all those years. I think a lot about the time I've wasted with these problems, the money I've flushed down the toilet, the relationships I could have had, etc... if it wasn't for my habits. I've learned more about myself in the last 120 days (that's right... bitches) than I did the last 7 years that I've been off the rails. I was afraid to live without alcohol. These days I'm more afraid to go back to a life where I'm drinking.
I don't care what anyone says... I watch people, I'm very observant... alcohol has a frightening amount of power over people. I thought I didn't have a problem, I still don't really think I had that big of a problem, but I'll tell you that when I hang out with people that I used to drink with and I watch as they just keep feeding their body alcohol... I'm glad that's not me anymore. I broke those chains and I'm actually really scared to start drinking again because I don't want that to be me anymore. And I fucking miss it like you wouldn't believe. And that just goes to prove how powerful it is. I can also say that for the first time in over a decade I actually feel the most emotionally stable that I've ever been. And that's without pharmaceuticals. I'm completely substance free and the fog is gone.
I don't go to AA because I have my own AA meetings here. You degenerate dick heads have helped me stay sober. Thank you.

I grew up in a family that has generational abuse issues. So much that it was one of the reasons to move my family away before they got to old. It takes a lot of balls do to what you are doing. Keep up the good work. I have watched this shit destroy lives and kill marriages my entire life, 50+ now. I drink but rarely more than 2 drinks at a time. My kids have never seen me drunk. Good luck! |

I think I need to get laid. That shouldn't be hard if you're in Ga. Just make sure you bring your own condoms. The girls down there are crazy and will poke holes in them. |

I use alcohol to put me to sleep every night. Without it, my REM narcolepsy is too much to handle.
