Today day 4. I even got some food at the bar and drank a pineapple juice.
I only drank 3 times in the past month though. My face complexion was noticeably better this morning. Im still tired but a little more perky today. I never really thought of myself as an alcoholic. I thought i just like to drink. I was definitely ab alcoholic. Its crazy i didn't realize it

least

Keep going! It gets better.

They got the best wings!! Plus if im going to be sober i cant hide from alcohol. Thats not a good plan. Its everywhere! I got to be comfortable and secure with my choice. And face what it is head on. Take responsibility for myself. Like when i quit smoking weed. All my friends smoke and im around it constantly. Thats my view.

My view is different.

Time and time again I tried to live my old life - just with me not drinking.

I went back to drinking every time - because that's what my old life was all about.

When I decided to make a real change, I pretty much changed everything - right down to my drinking buds.

I stayed away from alcohol for a while.

I don't regard that as hiding or running away at all - it was smart tactics.

It was the difference between me not drinking a week or two and me never drinking again.

I call it developing sober muscles.

I went out, but to places I knew there'd be no alcohol, with friends who I knew would be supportive of my life change.

Gradually, as I was ready, I increased the difficulty until one day I knew I wanted to be sober, I liked my sober life and nothing would sway me from that commitment again.

I can go anywhere and do anything now - but I had to work up to that.
