Celebrating 9 months on 7/24/14
Hey everyone my name's Brian, I'm an alcoholic. I have 9 months of sobriety as of July 24th and I'm on my way to 10 one day at a time. This is the longest amount of time I've ever had sober since becoming an alcoholic. Before, my record was 90 days. Back when I thought I could control my drinking lol. Anyway, I just wanted to post this here in the newcomers to let people that are new know there is hope. My life is so much different today than when I was drinking. I drank myself in and out of a house and marriage. I drank myself out of jobs. I drank myself into jail and the hospital more than a few times. I never wanted to look at myself, it was just too hard. It was always easier to blame everyone else. I used to get falling down drunk. Used to black out, lose control of my bodily functions and just live to drink. By the grace of God I don't have to do that today. I have a new sober life and it's possible for you. To those that are struggling, it does get better. Just please, don't drink. Sounds easier said than done I know. But, just start with that. Find some support. Institute some structure, but keep your humor and keep having fun. Whatever it is, you don't have to drink over it.
...great post!
