Hey all. Today is my fourth anniversary of being sober from alcohol. I had a near death experience a few years ago, which required hospital stays and treatment.
Sometimes it is the easiest thing I have ever done, and at times it is the hardest thing I have ever done. I do know it is the smartest thing I have done though.
I have lost three close people due to alcohol within these last four years, with the oldest person being 35 years old.
If you need help, seek it. Please don't wait for it.
Peace and Love

Congrats mate. I’m currently struggling with an alcohol relapse, I was doing so good but had a mental breakdown and started drinking again a couple weeks ago. It’s a f***in hard battle, props to you for being able to stick with it. I’m really hoping to be able to get back on track, life felt so much better when I was sober.

Now that you don’t drink, what’s your opinion on using real glass in pro wrestling?
Congrats!

Congrats.
I was never a big drinker. Outside of my last 2 years in teh Army. But even then I would have 3 to 4 beer after work then walk home from the base bar.
This past July marks 16 years since I quit cigarettes.

Congrats, how anyone made it through the past 3.5 years without hitting the bottle or bong is beyond me.

Great to hear, man.
I stopped drinking a little over nine years ago now. I decided that was the right choice for me at the time to take a little break from it and then that break got longer and longer and I just never went back.
I wish you good health and continued sobriety and offer my sincere congratulations because I know it’s not easy all the time to walk this path.
Keep it up, dude.

I have lost three close people due to alcohol within these last four years, with the oldest person being 35 years old. If you need help, seek it. Please don't wait for it. Peace and Love I'm glad to to hear that! > I myself am at the starting point of turning my life around. But feel pretty'yh good about it already anyways. My last straw as far as alcohol goes happened 4 weeks ago when I drank BAD moonshine, ' will never ever drink home made beverages. that's for sure. Maybe I'll allow myself bi-monthly 6-pack of beer or a joint or two - but ' cause of the health scare - I've no desire to waste any of my precious time in this world to being a damn alcohol-filled lazy bum... 🤔 🙄 I've wasted around 100,000 $ in drugs and alcohol in past 10 years. I'm only 31. 'nuff is' nuff! Stopped using hard drugs 2-3 years ago when my best friend (he was only 30) died during the actual christmas (December, 24-25th) date - just because two f***ing idiots encouraged him to try drugs via IV (even though I've been a hardcore user in past, always been wise enought not to do that!) - that was his first and final time, as his heart f***ing exploded 'cause of it. Ever since (August 1st) when I went to see Barbie (+ dinner) in theaters with my fave gurl, I was hook'd to drug that's actual life. > There's dozen of things that are the norm for the casual folks, that I'm only now experiencing... Only now I feel like I'm worth something... I've always been a positive person, but only now realized how much I've gambled with my health...
> Lost 15 kg when I started working out again. I started planning out trips to overseas and making the most of my time. Actually found a job/hobby that I'm passionated about, I can actually afford to do all these things I wanted now... From now on what I'll say I'll actually do. That saying motivates me. |
