2 weeks away from One Year!
As I get closer to one year of soberity I question myself a lot and how I got to this point where I can manage not to drink for almost a year working In high paced restaurant with co workers who drink alcohol in excess everyday. As well as not smoking weed when my gf smokes it Infront of me everyday. It's almost as if I'm on a different planet sometimes when I go somewhere to a sporting event which I went to the Bruins game on St Patrick's day with a co worker, or to a family gathering or when I go out with my gf which is maybe once or twice a month that All this alcohol is around me and I don't consume it. I used to chomp at the bit to get another drink in me and if I was out I would want more and more and more and more I guess I thought I was cooler when I was smashed. It's a extremly different lifestyle than what I was used when getting home from a busy nights work and getting stoned then drinking beer or liquor till I was tired enough and passed out. it took lots of getting into trouble and lots of friends passing away or going away for me to realize it wasn't worth it anymore. I don't go to AA or have a sponsor. I did it myself with prayer and will power. I have something to prove to myself and I'm not done yet! Eventually one day I know I will get out of the service industry! Just one day at a time. I'm thinking of getting into broadcasting and doing a apprenticeship through broadcasting mentors group BMG or SMG sports broadcasting mentors group. It's something I've always liked and listen to or watch and love working with electronics and it seems like something that would be more of a career than a job in a restaurant. We will have to wait and see though only time and effort will tell but I think it's more possible than it was a year ago now that I have my head on straight.
