4 years Sober
It's been 4 years this October since my last drink. I don't know how I've done it. I tried and failed in what seemed like hundreds of times before. The rock bottom was my last drinking episode at home alone with a bottle of vodka and I fell. I hit my head on a table and woke up hours later in a pool of vomit. I had a nasty scrape right in between my eyes and a black eye to top it off. That's the day I realized I was going to die if I didn't stop. I'll admit I've been tempted to drink (just one) on special occasions here and there and dating can get tricky when the first date suggestion is always 'Lets get a drink' but I've stuck to my guns. I can't drink and that's ok. One thing that has helped me is always keeping the memories of my worst times drinking fresh in my head. The countless times I humiliated and hurt the people I loved. The hangovers that had turned into life threatening withdrawals, doctor visits, complete isolation from my friends family and life. It was hell. Play the tape in your head of what will happen because it will never be different or ok just this one time.
