Fade to black… this picture above is from 31 days ago. Countless beers and Jameson shots later. You see a smile maybe a little tired even. There is absolutely no one home. The body is just on autopilot and I’m no where to be found. Looking at this picture makes me feel sad for the past me on the right. From my late teens until now age 31 I let alcohol dictate my life always waiting for a drink. Crazy how something that you thought made you feel good would sucker punch you to wake up not knowing what you did the day prior. Only to feel ashamed, depressed, lonely, just disgusted with who you are as a person. That lasts for half the day just to restart the whole cycle over again thinking hey I have it under control might as well Crack another and get myself to feel better but we all know where that leads to. More drinking maybe not black out but be hungover for the next day just so you can say at least I remember what happened I didn’t forget the night before. The cycle just keeps going its course. This guy is gone 31 days ago I decided enough was enough and it’s time to break the cycle and break the hand alcohol had so tightly gripped on me!
Hi I’m Zack and I’m an alcoholic. Technically yesterday was my milestone of 30 days! I feel great! There have been a couple days of hard cravings due to stress but I’ve turned to this app and also go to a alcohol therapist that has really gave me perspective on myself and how to deal with my drinking problem. The motivation I have for everyday life and all the extras are insane when I take drinking out of the equation. Weekends now are definitely my favorite. I can get so much stuff done and have time to enjoy my hobbies without being stuck wherever I was just getting drunk. I’m doing this sober journey for myself and couldn’t be happier with how the first month has went!
Thank you to everyone on here for being so open and helpful on this amazing road to recovery! I know that on a hard day your here to lend a helping word! Hope everyone has a great rest of your week! Stay motivated and one day at a time!
Congrats! Thanks for sharing!
