Alcohol & Sobriety

On occasion I'll get asked if I miss drinking and why did I stop?

Miss it? Not on the least. I wake up every morning with a clear head, I go to bed feeling peace. I couldn't control my drinking. There was but one purpose and that was to feel nothing fast.

In 2019 after 7 years of being sober I fell off the wagon in a big way. Three years of drowning myself and I'm not sure how I didn't die from it until 2022. It took several AA meetings to figure out that if I fall into it again, I won't make it back out.

Here's to another day of sobriety. 👍👍

I'm an alcoholic, too—a total drunk. My thing was I never got a hangover, so I could drink every night and still make it to work. I haven't had a drink in almost 2 years.
