[Skip b]

About to start day 1, I dont get high these days, but woman know me for that life and try to bring it out of me all day everyday; got me drinking and I despise liquor, partying, whoring I need new people around, and a clear mind...


I come to the realization that my whole lifestyle is out of pain, of losing my family.....This must change

A pint a day is absolutely nothing.

Then you said a pint of vodka

Last time I tried to dry out it rung my bell real good.

Couldn't sleep for days on end, vision was blurry, thoughts cloudy.

shyt almost kilt a niqqa cause I ended up having to drive several hours on almost no sleep.

Then I started smoking again. Weed.

And all was right with the world. Slept like a baby. After a while of treating myself my head got back right. I could think clearly.

It was actually pretty decent. But.

I drank 4 apple ciders one night thinking I had come around to the point where I could drink like the normal humans.

Nope. Back at it soon after that.

This time around. I know if I quit again I have to be ready to stay quit forever. The more times you 'quit' the more severe the withdrawals. Withdrawal from booze is one of the most dangerous and can literally kill you.

All is not for naught, tho.

I buy me one 40 of Icehouse after work most days and that's it. Prolly about 4 beers worth once you adjust for the slightly higher percentage.

And on days when I do drink drink, I can usually get to bed before I'm totally shyt faced. Very seldom do I have hang overs cause I don't be going super hard. Usually.

It's a winding road Breh. I wouldn't say I am better off that the cat who doesn't drink at all but got damn I had a BALL. This sober niqqa over here never landed on the bottom of a pile of drunk chicks. Never drank straight from the bottle in a Vegas night club VIP section. For every great night there were 10 terrible ones but there were alot of great nights even so.

I got sober in 2006, I went to a month long residential treatment, and than spent about 15 months in a halfway house/recovery house, which was really where a lot of my sobriety was developed.

I started smoking and drinking young, like 15/16, started using and selling cocaine at 16, and was using everyday by the time I was a senior in HS, and drinking everyday, in addition to blunts, valium xanax, that kind of thing. By the time I was 21, I was drinking a fifth a day, from 151 to E&J, to Remy, Jack Daniels, bottom shelf whiskey, I was essentially killing myself. I decided to make a choice to get sober, my life had become hardly worth living, and one of the things drinking does is take everything you really loved and cared about, and replace it with alcohol.

My wife just said the same thing.

I fell off the wagon Friday , got drunk and messed up my 8 day stretch. I gotta start all over again. The part that hurts the most is that i let my wife down. I feel like a total loser right now

i was up to day 8, then i fukked up and stopped at a homeboy house (i shouldve known better) and drank WAYYYY too much. Im back to day 1 now

I don't know enough about your individual situation, but, if possible, you should consider treatment options. The odds of a daily drinker as you described yourself, actually getting sober, and staying are near impossible. That's just facts. And, sobriety is way more than just not drinking.

Got a lil office party tomorrow and they’re bringing sangria.

They all know I’m a drinker so imma have to do the no thank you’s all day. Then get the questions as to why I’m not drinking

I learned this trick about 5 years ago (when I was drug and alcohol-free for 2 years). I always got asked why I wasn't drinking, and I said, "I can't because of some medicines I'm on." They never asked me again.

Also, I'm 4+ weeks sober as hell. The extra money I have is a great side effect

i was up to day 8, then i fukked up and stopped at a homeboy house (i shouldve known better) and drank WAYYYY too much. Im back to day 1 now

Remember that relapses happen to us all. Learn from this, and recognize your triggers, so it doesn't happen again.

Last time I got high, I ended up berating myself like this



When I drink, I just get in my bag.
Maybe it's time to put the drugs down...

Some times it is just that time. I feel like I’m headed there myself. Actually I still love weed but smoking it is starting to annoy me. Also when I got high I used to think of FUN shyt..like listening to music/partying/watching a stoner flick....now all I think about is death and existential shyt when I get high. Terrible

Went like 3 days without drinking until last night. I was bored at home with nothing to do so I drove to the corner store and bought 2 tall modelos. Usually would cop a 6 pack. Baby steps breh

I have terrible mental highs lol. The only reason I put up with it is because of the nice body high I get from weed and how it calms my physical anxiety down. Bylut it ramps up my mental anxiety so I'm in this weird place where I'm super relaxed but my mind is super aware of everything. I only smoke by myself because I get really quiet and awkward around people when I smoke.
