Thumbs up No More Back Paddling

Ok, guys this time i no is the time i'm done for good!

Went through the whole denial, depression, excuses, quitting for 2 months then going back, and then the trying to cut back thing. This time its never again and i'm going to start posting on here regularly now. Ive kicked my dope habit 4 months back and now this is the next thing to go. I'm tired of hiding my feelings behind a joint and a bottle and i'm tired of the shame and disappointment that comes along with it. I know this is the time because i've run out of excuses and have stupidly tried everything else hahah!

When ever i see alcohol around and i'm tempted to drink i'm just going to remind myself of how much shame my drinking has brought me and how horrible i felt at those times because i know alcohol and drugs will ruin me if i let them. There's way too many things i want and want to be in my life!

This is my day new day 4.

Thanks everyone for all your support so far!


PS.
The reason why i think i was able to quit smoking pot easier even though i was so, so, addicted was because it's not socially acceptable and once you quit you don't have to see it on tv, when you go out, and when your around your friends. That's one of the things that makes quitting drinking so hard.

I'm glad you're giving sobriety another shot. You can do this. Just don't drink FOR TODAY. Have a safe and sober New Year!

Welcome back,

I avoided the wine and beer aisle in the supermarket for a long time.

I also flipped away from TV commercials for alcohol.

I am so glad you have made the decision to live a sober life.
