Putting down the bottle for good
Its currently February 22, 2023 and ive decided to stop drinking hopefully for the rest of my life. Sadly as im typing this im drunk but not extremely drunk. Ive been an alcoholic close to a year now next month would mark 1 year exactly. Im 21 and I drank for the first time when I was 19 only because we were celebrating my best friend at the time birthday. It was a 4 loko and I didnt even get half way through the can and I was extremely drunk. Thought that would be my only time drinking. Im 21 now and I started dating a now ex girlfriend March of last year and the first time we ever hung out we drank. I didnt realize at the time what I was becoming but we drank every week. I drank a lot more than her and anytime we would go over her family house they would give us drinks and buy us drinks as well. They arent the blame of course but definitely a huge influence. When I turned 21 is when it really took a huge turn for the worst because I could go to the store on my own and buy as much alcohol as I want. I cant remember the last time I havent drank. I would go to work and drink on the job with coworkers. Walk home buy another drink. Day after day Bottle after bottle. I drank 3 pints of vodka yesterday. Almost 24 hours later and im still drunk and I hate it so much. Im making this post to hopefully encourage others that want to quit drinking and look back on this one day and see how far I have come. Im tired of the hang overs and not remembering anything after waking up. Im tired of the shakes I get after not drinking. I want to leave this life behind me and better myself. Hopefully anyone reading this thats in my same situation or worse does the same. I believe I can quit and im going to make sure that happens starting now. I cant wait until I sober up and feel normal again. Good luck to all my fellow addicts and remember anything is possible!
