Chris here from Knoxville, TN
Hi everyone,
My name is Chris and I've been drinking heavily for about five years. There's a saying on campus that you're not an alcoholic if you're a college student, as if getting drunk every night is what you're supposed to do. However, after destroying a bottle of whiskey last night, I'm done. Just done. I'm not sure how being sober will suit me--it'll keep me from driving into a light pole one fine evening, that's for damn sure--but it's time.
Has anyone felt excited about their quit? This feels like the right decision and an easier one than I expected (although God knows how many arguments I've had defending my right to get plastered at noon on a Wednesday). Anyway, best of luck.
