Well, here I am again, finishing up day 3 in an effort to stay sober. It has been around 8 months since i was serious about being sober. I dont think I truly realized I honestly had a problem. My turning point was waking up the following morning after drinking half of a half gallon of vodka within I’d say 5-6 hours and feeling utterly miserable. That morning as I looked back at the amount of time (3 hours at the bar everyday after work) and drinking a half gallon on the weekends I was at rock bottom. Looking at my isolation, looking at all of the house projects I’ve started but never finished, and my health, enough is enough.
Been there done that. Dude you have the worst part in the bag now, the first 72 hours are a bitch. Your story sounds like mine, it was tough to gather the willpower for a serious attempt at sobriety the last time i fell off.
Podcasts, this app, self help books, other alcoholics, a healthy diet and exercise is my current recipe for sobriety.
I’ve been on a path to sobriety for around 5 years. I currently have just shy of 100 days again. The biggest difference for me this time Is that i fully realise and accept that i am absolutely powerless to alcohol and I work on my recovery everyday in some form or another.
Back at it back on it get a program in order if you can if you can do 3 hours in the bar every night there’s no excuse not to get some community based recovery groups for couple hrs tops a week.you have so many to choose from all over the world.this is meant in a caring light hearted way just incase you think I’m being to in your face but I see ppl getting clean putting down and that’s it and they wonder and are surprised when they eventually relapse I wish you all the best .welcome back, remember a day at a time .xx
