Today is the end of day 9 with no alcohol. I woke up this morning with a kind of beast mode mentality and got a lot of school work done. I officially graduate college in about a week at 40 years old, and I'm stoked on that.
It hasn't been easy. I'm a single dad with 2 young kids and I've struggled my entire life, basically. Alcohol has always been my go to. But now in my life, it has depreciating value and liability.
I have a good, stable job, with great benefits for my kids and I. Graduating is great and I am proud of that, but I cannot live a life of drinking like I have. There are a lot of areas where I need to improve.
If you made it through the weekend without drinking or using, I'm proud of you. Keep going.
If this is Monday where you are just starting out on your sober journey, you got this!
Don't listen to the haters.
There are plenty of people who will support you and cheer you on.
@DearS_o_n Honestly, my wife deserves a trophy the size of an airplane for being there when I was at my lowest. Not everyone is that fortunate. Always know is in your circle that will be there.
Today marks 1,710 days of alcohol free living.
Sobriety not only saved my life but gave me a new lease of life. If I can do it, you can do it too. Happy Hangover free Sober Sunday to all my sober followers and those who are sober curious
I’m 20. Give me oddly specific life tips. No general “surround yourself with positive people” tips. I only want the most random, specific advice possible.
@AngryCitizenxx I need to do this again. Was at 2 yrs and went to a Toby Keith concert, and husband was rushing me beers. I can’t drink that stuff, but it took me back. Now hooked on white claws. Destroys every day I drink. I need to get past this again
