Truth and Tough Love #3

The best way to thank someone or some group for helping you get sober is to help someone else get sober.

Fucking normies, pointing out all the ways in which my drinking was NOT normal. We practically had an open bar at my daughter’s first birthday.

For real. Like she was shocked that I would even suggest such a thing.

I guess it’s just a different world that I’m not in. I don’t go to parties with alcohol. The ones that do are all very low key. I couldn’t picture a party or a cookout with alcohol being served. That’s probably strange of me, but that’s the world I grew up in.

It’s more common than one would think. Subconsciously I am sure that I sought out engagements that fit my lifestyle of being an out of control drunkard.

I had to run out of a funeral to be sick because I was drunk

The tough love in the above is

Don’t drink alcohol or use drugs

Otherwise you will be on a slippery slope where you lose morality, self will and make god damn awful decisions which a sane person wouldn’t.

Your whole life will be consumed by when you can drink or use again.

I used to enjoy Funerals. You know why? Because I could drink to excess at the wake and nobody would be watching me or stop me- what kind of fucked up thinking is that? Alcoholic thinking that’s what🤔

I didn’t go to my ill great grandfather because I wanted to game. He died less than a month later.
I didn’t go to my nephew’s funeral because I wanted to game. Addiction really fucks up the moral compass

Why the fuck did us dope heads always find using bathrooms was the perfect spot to shoot dope? :thinking: Even in a porta-john where its 150°F and a sweat shop sweating in my spoon n shyt…

So the lesson here is if u think doing drugs in the bathroom is cool… Your just another junkie …:joy:

I used to do that shit too. Then I got sober. Today I put in a productive 9 hour day at work. Went to get oysters with my friend. Took a nice bike ride. Played with the kids at the park. Then relaxed on my couch.

It’s amazing the shit I used to tell myself in order not to get sober. I honestly thought living that life was somehow better than the life I’m living now…,

One thing I’ve learned is that no one was going to put in the effort to hold me accountable if I wasn’t willing to take accountability on myself. Why would anyone care about my consequences if I didn’t. Unfortunately it took me a whole bunch of consequences before I learned that lesson.
