About me. In 2003 I was sent to pain management and became addicted to opiates. I quit cold turkey in 2011, I was sick for 40 days. I really thought I could not live my life without opiates. Today I don't even think about it.
Looks like I traded one addiction for another. I'm scared that I can't live without alcohol. Why would I love something that is a problem in my life.
It takes time and money to drink. Six hours to drink after work and four hours to nurse a hangover....every stinking day! I spend about 400.00 a month on beer. I drink 14-20 beers a night and still go to work in the morning. What sane person would participate in that kind of madness.
I'm 2 days clean today, but I have gone 2 months sober before. Summer will be here soon and I know it's gonna be hard.
