You've probably already used up enough of those years drinking - why not spend the time you have left SOBER? I'd say it might be time to start nourishing your soul with sobriety, fresh air, travel, and new experiences!

So what if you need to tell a few people in order to help get this monkey off your back? Why suffer alone in your struggle? The world won't stop turning if you are honest with others....in fact it's going on without you, right now.

I'm still wet from the swim I took in the Pacific Ocean 10 minutes ago. I'm in a small village in Central America you've never heard of. I'd never, ever, ever have been here if I was still drinking. Join the rest of us and start living the life you truly want for yourself. It's totally worth it!

/sorry if this hijaked your thread in any way, it's just that so many people chose alcohol over LIFE, and sometimes it helps to give an example that sober life is truly awesome.
