10 months today!
Yea Buddy!
Today marks 10 months
Things change , it was up to me to decide which path I go down.
The miserable , whoa is me, Im the victim, inconsiderate, moody...
or
Make Sh$t happen, Always Positive, energetic
Obviously this decision wasnt mine to begin with, it happen for reasons Im embarrassed about and that alone give me the strength to move forward.
Things I only talked about before are materializing now ......I have the confidence to try and fail now, and more than often Im succeeding ...
All of this is because I stopped drinking! Drinking held me back for years .
Today Im glad that I have my family, a job, a level head , my health and tomorrow to look forward to.
Anyone looking to break the cycle , do it, fear of failing shouldnt stop you!
The waters warm, jump in and enjoy, sobriety is amazing!!!!

I just see alot of people on here talking about failure and starting to booze again.......I personally like hearing people's success stories, Im still a work in progress , not sure when you become a success story really but the other day I felt like it and wanted to let people know how awesome it is being sober, I'll never preach but it is a game changer , life changer for me.........
do what you have too because life is not meant to be a prisoner to something as stupid as a liquid in a bottle..Its hard but the rewards are amazing ,

Thank you everyone, I could not have made it this far if it wasnt for SR and alot of your positive comments.
The truth of the matter is that its so easy to enjoy and have just a cocktail or a beer, then you have 2 or 4 more , then your get to the great feeling and have 4 or 8 more , then your drunk and everything is golden , perfect ,laughing,stories, music blaring, etc........but the problem is that its a weeknight and you have to work tomorrow.....
Now your hungover, un productive, feel like dog pooh poo, bad attitude, etc.....Thats how my life was, I was in a constant hangover cycle, its sucked when I was sober but was amazing when I was drunk!
When you chose sobriety or I guess when it chose's you, you lose alot of that above, the good and the bad.
But you gain other things like TIME. Theres so much more time in the day and night when you dont drink, I cant explain it correctly but there just is....Plus maybe you gain a few extra months to live on this beautiful planet, I dont know....
I promised myself to never judge , because first I must point the finger at myself but I do want to atleast inspire at least someone and I wish I had the right thing to say to help and get you on the correct path once and for all.
When I hear that it keeps getting better , Im fricking pump, because its pretty awesome right now , and if it keeps getting better then that means "Being Sober is like winning the Lottery" cause Im the richest man in the world, I didnt get to the point where I lost everything , maybe I would have , maybe not , but Im not taking anymore chances, I got one life left and it will be a sober one......
everything is hard in the beginning , but once you get rolling , fight for it and never look back....
