I had hopes for my life until partying and not dealing with life made me loose myself and everything I believed in and dream of. I was rotting inside out. I have battled before against it but tricked myself right back into it by making excuses, being dishonest,not facing lifes ups and downs and loosing faith. There was a little light left enough to help me wake up again. Today I have been sober for a month and have noticed amazing changes.... SOBER RULES!!! I never ever wish to destroy myself like that again or hurt those around me in the process. Sobriety girl it is great that you share your story... Wish you the best in your path... My path today I will not drink !!!! The practice of this everyday (sobriety) will make it become a habit!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11214639.post-20695358749592131472008-01-11T22:07:00.000-05:002008-01-11T22:07:00.000-05:00My chest became tight with intensity while reading...My chest became tight with intensity while reading this post. I found your page off of Wikipedia while randomly typing the word "sober" into the search engine. <BR/><BR/>It's only been 19 days sobe for me so far, but that's a long way from where I spent the past few months of binge drinking (and to be honest, the past several years of just plain drinking too much). My last lengthy bout of sobriety felt like one long battle of sober-me against drunk-world and it finally beat me down. I got tired of feeling like I was fighting the good fight alone. Drinking is EVERYWHERE. I finally caved.<BR/><BR/>It was refreshing to see what you'd written, to be reminded that there are others who have felt the same frustration and felt like they had to justify NOT doing something (how backward is THAT?) My last girlfriend, of all people, was one of those that just could NOT leave me alone when I told her I was sober and fine not to drink (I was). She, like other "friends" would push it on me. One guy even told me that I was weird for not drinking. Ugh. <BR/><BR/>I've finally just decided to see it as a healthy, loving choice for my own damn self. I want to grow old with a functioning body and mind, not a saturated, corrupted old shell that is so dependent on poison that I would get sick if I stopped. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11214639.post-9742885580179398662007-11-08T13:36:00.000-05:002007-11-08T13:36:00.000-05:00Very nice!

It seems like it's a norm of life to drink once in awhile, or every day, depends, but, let's break it, actually my Dad never drinks, anyway, thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11214639.post-45917628222640721732007-10-13T22:47:00.000-04:002007-10-13T22:47:00.000-04:00Thank you for writing this. -11 months sober in ...Thank you for writing this. <BR/> -11 months sober in New OrleansAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11214639.post-57264472175234659842007-09-29T10:33:00.000-04:002007-09-29T10:33:00.000-04:00Good for you, alot people don't seem to understand...Good for you, alot people don't seem to understand that life can still be fun without a drink in your hand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11214639.post-30520961546747143552007-08-08T19:22:00.000-04:002007-08-08T19:22:00.000-04:00I am so glad I came across your blog.
