i think the universe is trying to tell me something
I went out to play some pool at my usual spot tonight.
The night started off great. An old friend came by and.. we had a few drinks.
No big deal really except my jacket was stolen. Absolute buzzkill.
Tonight was the final straw. I think this is a sign from the universe to quit the bar life and alcohol once and for all.
So tired of this. Tonight was really disappointing. What a way to add insult to injury.

I dunno if it's the universe trying to tell you something or not, but yeah, I've had money stolen, I've fallen down stairs gotten into altercations and I've been thrown out of many a hotel, all when drinking.
I'm glad none of that is part of my life now.
any ideas yet on how you might get sober and stay that way readyt0change?

Ready,
It was just a matter of time before booze gave me the coup de grace.
Glad to be done w that money and time wasting, health sapping habit.
Alcohol is a govt sanctioned highly addictive neurotoxin. It quells the masses and offers billions of tax and business dollars from cradle to grave.
Thanks.

i will recover.
the people who know me say my habit isn't that bad.. but i just don't wanna live this way anymore. i see the emptiness of it, of all drugs. they're pointless. but sometimes i give in and chase the buzz.

Soooo .... to paraphrase Dees question above, how are you going to fill that emptiness? Not going to the bar seems a somewhat hollow solution. I think you need something a bit more meaningful.
Finding that, in my opinion, will be the key.

Waaay cheaper than a DUI!

https://www.soberrecovery.com/forums...very-plan.html (What exactly is a recovery plan?)
Make a recovery action plan - one that specifically addresses you staying sober and how you'll make that happen.
You won't regret it
