I noticed people weren't as big of assholes when I stopped 15 years ago.
Then I discovered they weren't being assholes, I was.  Most folks are genuinely glad to see me these days. |

51 days here. Keep on keepin' on. Life's never been so good. Awesome, HK... When I first got sober (Oct 7, 1994), people with multiple years of sobriety didn't mean jack shit to me. It was unimaginable. But when I saw someone with 51 days, I was like "Wow! How could anyone stay sober for so long?" Maybe I can do it too! Guys like you have a lot to offer someone who is just a couple of days sober. You be grateful; we'll be proud (of you)...... |

Well done OP. I am going through some similar issues and your post gives me strength. God Bless you and your battle. Be strong and I will find strength in your perseverance.
I am 7 days clean from the drug of my choice (not the place to name my vice). I am 3 days clean from 41 years chewing tobacco. I quit cigarettes 2 1/2 years ago. I have lost 34 pounds since January 1st. and only have 15 more to reach my goal. Now if I could find some joy in life, my family would be happier and so would I. Sometimes doing the right thing is a BITCH! Oh,,, Happy Easter to all of the men and women of Arcom. |

Basically like I said in a previous post I just go one day at a time saying "hey I may fall off the wagon tomorrow, but not today, I ain't gonna drink today" then the next day I do the same thing. One day at a time, it's just that simple. |

Quoted: I wasn't gonna post on this but there were some incredible words of wisdom in another thread that really hit home with me. "When you struggle at life you seek comfort in alcohol. I'd say that is a good sign that maybe you have an unhealthy relationship with the "hooch". A simple life is a good life. " Fella 4-20-14 I have 2 years sobriety today, I'm not gonna lie there are times I struggle with it. There are Friday nights I would love to get smashed but I know ultimately it will complicate my life and not in a good way. Life is good, sobriety is good. If you don't have issues with booze, more power to ya I envy you. If you do think you have a problem, give sobriety a shot, life will be more simple AND because of sobriety it will continue to simplify. You can do it, and life will be what it should. Congrats brother. I'm beginning to truly think that a simpler life is in my future. Too much "stuff" and not nearly enough freedom. |
