32 days later....
At first I was frighten to even think about being sober. I was used to having a drink after work and getting wasted on the weekend, my father even mentioned that fridays was the holy friday for me since I always had an expensive whisky to celebrate th3 weekend.
I hit a low one weekend, got real drunk in front of my family in a get together that I blacked out. Continued to drink the following day and started shaking at night. My nose bled for 4 days and I knew it was a result of the hard liquor. I had made many attempts to quit and always failed.
This time I decided to stop blaming circumstances and take total control and responsibility for myself. 32 days later and im still sober. Things have been great so far. Im accomplishing alot of my goals and working out 6 days a week to help with the stress.
At first i thought that I would be this unsocial guy and that I would have to stay home since every activity that I enjoy was under the influence. I used to need a drink just to approach and be able to talk to others. Now, im more confident (not as social) but I feel good about myself. I go to bars, club and im able to enjoy myself with just water and red bull.
To those struggling, give sobriety a chance. My weed smoking and alcoholic friends look at me as an inspiration. Some even gave up the weed and slow down on the drinking. Its not easy and I still get craving but then I think about the mess I was and im committed on not taking that first drink.
