Three weeks ago today...
This time Three weeks ago I was Driving to The Shop to get my Cans Of Lager ready to get Drunk... My first Drink of the day was around 3 pm and I continued to drink all Night with a couple of Friends who were equally dependant on Drink as Me.
I woke up the next Morning, feeling Ill, I couldn't get out of Bed all day because I felt so Hungover, I realised then that I was probably Killing myself.
At age 52 I wondered how my Body was still taking this abuse.
When I finally dragged my sick Body out of Bed I decided that Enough was Enough, I couldn't put myself through this anymore so I decided I had to Quit!
Today I feel Good, in fact Fantastic, My drinking Pals are still drinking on a Daily Basis but I have only caught a Glimpse of them walking to the Shop to buy more Drink...they looked Dreadful! Eeeew, that's the way I must have looked.
Three weeks without a Drink has given me my life back and I know in my heart that its gonna stay this way.
Today I feel so Happy!

Nice one Kitey!! 3 weeks sober is great!!
Remember to try to keep everything 'one day at a time' as best as possible.I find this really helps.
yes, I must have looked really rough when I used to stagger round to the shop to buy more booze. I never used to think I was staggering but obviously I know different now. I never used to think I smelled of booze either but now realise I must have stunk of booze for at least a good day or two after my binges.
I couldn't imagine putting myself through that anymore and have no desire to. I see alcohol for the poison that it is to me. I have zero desire to inflict all of that physical and emotional damage that I used to inflict on myself on a regular basis.
Remember how good you're feeling now mate and think back to it in the future when the thought of a drink sounds more alluring and you foget the hell of the hangover. I can still vividly remember my last bender and it wasn't pretty. I never want to go back there and I don't ever have to as long as I stay away from that first drink at all costs 'just for today'.
Life is good sober.
peace

Way to go on 3 weeks!!
I remember vividly all those times, standing in line at the cash register with my drinks, having sprayed perfume on me because I hadn't showered in days, with a stain on my shirt and booze on my breath..... just wanting to get through the line FAST so I didn't have to talk to anyone and could go home and continue drinking in peace.
Nice to have all that changed now...
Keep hanging in there, ODAAT!:ghug3

Hey Kitey, congratulations on your three weeks! By stopping drinking, you'll probably extend your lifespan by a decade, and if you enjoy music you will start hearing it better too! Good luck and take it one day at a time.
