Thank you Josh. A pet peeve of mine is the words people use tell the real story.
Is there a genuine commitment or a story being told.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with determination. It’s just not enough

Committed I meant* 
I use determined in the way you mean committed usually, that’s why I said determined like that. Only time will tell, but I’m confident that the days will keep increasing. I have a plan for next time my friends try to invite me to a party environment 
Wud up, bro.
I hope you’re doing well.
I know you’re hella young, and going out is tempting.
I’ve been to parties where I was shot at. I got jumped, and my ribs fractured, and I had to pay over 2k in medical bills. Didn’t get a cent from the “homies.” I don’t even talk to any of these dudes anymore. I don’t even get a text from them to see how I am doing. Sobriety shows people their true colors. I opened up to some of these guys, and all they did was clown. Fuck em. Anyway, I wish I had a time machine to go back and change everything. Let this be your time machine, John Conner. You don’t have to go through that shit too. Partying and clubbing aint worth it.
Peace.

Parties never made me drink. Parties werent a cause of my alcoholism.
You stop going to parties, what happens when stress hits. I read on here how stressful days cause relapse all the time.
What made me a drunk…was simply me. How I looked at life, how i treated myself, my inability to face life and all of life’s challenges on life’s terms.
Getting sober for me was a process…skipping events, is a good first step.
What is your next step in the process?

Hey guys I’m not normally one to call in the reigns and I loved a lot of the contributions here, lots of wisdom, I don’t mean to throw any shade - but maybe let’s let our young friend get back to the grind first of all and I’m sure he’ll check in w us very soon. Y’all know he can’t stop himself w the topics.

Okay my bad, maybe I’m being too sensitive right now. A lot of people in my life, like outside of TalkingSober were picking on me a lot and maybe it’s just tripping me out

That’s what I sensed also from the FRO so I think we need to give you a wee break. Take care of yourself.
