Unfortunately I grew to hate it, it began to consume me, and by then I couldn't stop.
To move on from that I had to change a lot of things - much more than simply drinking.
Getting sober didn't make me happy - it just makes it a little easier for me to work out what I need to do to be happy.
What other things have you changed in your life since you got sober?
D
You said a lot in here that I agree with.
"Getting sober didn't make me happy - it just makes it a little easier for me to work out what I need to do to be happy."
I like this. I was amazed when I first quit how rather than being limited, I could get more done when I wasn't hungover almost every time I had a day off.
As for changes, I've been running a lot. I'm recovering from an injury, but I'm back to 4 miles a day. I want to get back to the 7 I was doing when I first quit. The strength and weight loss have been a big motivator. I've also bee trying to eat better.
Not much else besides that. I guess that's why I'm here.
PS What is AVRT?
