I found getting sober is easy, staying sober is not.
I quit so many times after a bad hang over that I realized that, when a bad hang over is your motivation to quit, you will only be motivated when you’re hung over.
After a long look at my self, I also realized that I couldn’t quit, because I wouldn’t quit. I made excuses to drink and excuses to not quit. I got tired of fooling myself so I made a plan to quit.
Part of my plan was changing my relationship with alcohol.
Changing my relationship was key, I eventually no longer desired the drink. Since then, I’ve dealt so many lemons that live handed me and still, no desire to drink.
I also came here everyday and learned from others how to be sober. Not only did I listen to their advice, I followed their advice, and so I always will recommend stepping into sobriety with an open mind and willing heart. Do that and you will find success.
