It's been 6 days since I last had a sip of anything....The last few days were smooth but right now I'm starting to feel irritated and anxious. This is the first time in a long time (I'm talking years) that I have went nearly a week without drinking. I usually buy cases of beer, and drink 2-3 bottles a night and I would cop something like Gin, Vodka or Dark liquor along with it.
What drove me to this point is that I simply had enough and just want to live better. I'm not happy about where Im at in life. I'm getting burned out and dont wanna drink my life away. I lost my father last October and I'm still going through it.....drinking in some ways feels that empty void I have. My family has alot of drinkers and its something I been doing since I was 15, (I had my first sip at 8) I'm 27 now. It's also getting harder to handle hangovers as I get older and I just feel sick the next day.
Third of all, fueling my alcohol dependency is expensive. I see myself as an functioning alcoholic. I don't wake up and start drinking..its not that bad but often times I drink just to forget about my problems and deal with shyt in my past. I'll have a drink every night I come home from work. I cant enjoy myself going out unless I drink.
And Last....It's had a negative impact on my sex life. I used to believe that drunk sex was fun but when you're drunk you're more prone to make mistakes that you wouldn't otherwise if you was sober.
And I been finding harder to maintain peak performance during sex as my consumption of alcohol increased lately.
So this is day 6 of my journey.....I made this thread for anyone else that's facing similar struggles
