I made the choice black and white - have another drink, buy another bottle, pass out again, and lose my physical and mental health, my family, my home, my job, OR quit drinking and demand of and for myself a better life, a life I deserve. No gray areas. A simple choice with two clear options.

There were no white knuckles, no hanky twisting, no daily debate and no conditions I had to meet to obtain and maintain my sobriety. It was such a relief to know I would never experience those awful hangovers, the shame, guilt, anxiety and fear. It was done. And I am sober.

People quit drinking every day, and you can be one of them. Are you ready to make your plan about continuing to use alcohol? Keep posting, Sobersolistice, OK?
