My health, I was gaining weight, unhealthy amount. But within about two months I’ve lost 15 pounds so far. And it’s just not who I am. I let drinking become who I was but I’m so much more

I’m completely out of money, more depressed than ever, and I can feel my health starting to deteriorate. I’m distracted at work, irritable always, I don’t eat enough, and I get terrible sleep. I need to get a grip.
It has only been 3 and a half days but I’m feeling strong so far. Finally realizing that I have the option to throw away these rotten routines has been empowering. Now I’ve just got to make it stick.

My dad is an alcoholic. Unfortunately he will never quit. It’s horrible watching him as he is so I decided to take action to ensure my kids will never see me like that

What if we were meant to go through this transition for the betterment of others?
I bet there are people in everyone of our social cirlces that struggle and live with the same regrets that we do. It’s easy to continue in harmful lifestyles when we are surrounded by others doing the same. I find strength when I focus on how my transformation can hopefully inspire others by seeing what is possible.
I find strength in God. I must get out of the way and allow God’s strength to be glorified through me.
My struggle is my selfishness.

Tired of the headaches and hangovers. Wasting entire days waiting to feel normal again. Tired of looking like a drunken fool in front of friends and family. Tired of putting myself at risk of getting a DUI. Tired of undoing all of my hard work at the gym and with my diet by drinking beer everyday. Never going back to that life

Because I’m sure I’ll die if I don’t stop. Being healthy is my goal so alcohol has to go

To have better relationships, less anxiety and guilt, and to lose the constant battle in my head, I hate the feeling of being controlled by a substance.

I go out socially and have no confidence so i drink until I end up getting with the first guy that gives me attention. It’s awful. I also blackout regularly.
I want to be able to go out without drinking but don’t think I can. Here in Australia it’s a big drinking culture.

My relationships, weight gain, time wasted, poor sleep, and I just wasn’t myself anymore.

I live in downtown Austin which is also a big drinking culture. I end up not going out now because I know I’ll drink. I also keep in mind what is more important to me. It is hard to not drink when you are low on confidence. For me, I get more confidence when I work out, and I get better work outs when I don’t drink. Takes some time, but excercise has been proven to increase mood and confidence. Just remind yourself the person you want to be when it gets hard. You got this

I made a mistake while drunk and hurt someone that I loved deeply for . She is no longer in my life and moved on. I take full responsibility for what happened and understand that if I was sober I would not of been so stupid. Alcohol ruined my health, and my life. I miss her everyday, but I know she is gone and it is my fault. That keeps me going. If I and going to forgive myself, I need to learn from it. Never again will I get out of control and hurt myself or someone I love

My main reason for quitting was because I had lost everything. Our home, all my belongings, myself respect and the most important thing was i lost the trust and respect of my daughters. My 17 yr old daughter barely speaks to me and it kills me daily i wish i could erase the past so that she never had to go through the things i put her threw. I love her and all my children and when i finally woke up to what i had done it really wasnt a choice. I just hope some day soon she will see how truley sorry i am and will allow us to start building a relationship again
