Third time is a charm

Today this is it - Day 1 of being sober. Said it a 100 times before. I go to AA meetings , than I stop going. This is a mistake.

I am tired of being tired all the time. Never sleep good while drinking. When I was in Afghanistan I did not have a drop in 6 months! Worked 12 hours shifts 6-7 days/week. I was thinking then, man this is good not drinking.

say it out loud, to yourself, into your own eyes, in the mirror.....


"I CHOOSE SOBRIETY!!! I CHOOSE LIFE!!!"

then act on that choice.

repeat as many times daily as you can.



you can do it.

There is power in waking up clear headed and rested. To tackle the day with energy and focus. You can get sober and be better off for it.

Keep posting. We are all here for you!

Took a selfie in the mirror, "I choose sobriety". Going to weigh myself and note changes. Love to get down to 200 lbs again.
