One Week Without Alcohol! * 7
    #23161129 - 04/27/16 12:07 PM (7 years, 8 months ago)

I know in the grand scheme of things this is not a huge landmark but I still want to brag.

For the first time in probably fourteen years, I went all week without a drink.

And I didn't even realize until day 5 that I was on a roll. So instead of celebrating with a drink I decided to keep going and see if I could hit a week!

I made it!!!

I don't think I will make it another week though. I kind of want a drink now. Probably tonight.

But finally, I had cut back SO much that I didn't even realize I had stopped drinking until several days in! My physical reliance on alcohol is gone!!!

Yayyyyy!!!!!

I'm sick of all you hypocrites
Holding me at bay
And I don't need your sympathy
To get me through the day
Seasons change and so can I
Hold on boy, no time to cry
Untie these strings, I'm climbing down
I won't let them push me away

Bloody alcohol. It was never really my thing (past a few good beers) like drugs are but since my wife went to rehab for it 8 months ago I've been going through patches of hitting the vodka pretty hard. Helps with the loneliness and pain in the moment, but they're always there on the other side. I normally get to the point of stopping for a few weeks and then somehow think it's a good idea to start again. Why?

Shit gives me the shakes when I've been hitting it a few days in a row too. In fact I just woke up after necking half a bottle of vodka. Need to exercise to get that shit outa my system. I really need to not be drinking in the first place right now though... it's just so easy...

It will only destroy what you are not.

Oh, I hear you.

A few years ago my doctor was afraid I would die if I quit cold turkey. Shakes are fun...

My twelve step friends think I am crazy because I refuse to go through a program but I don't want to quit. I want to gain control of my impulses and vices and have a goddamn drink once in a while like an adult.

It has taken over a year of focus and diligence to make it this far and in many ways it is more difficult than just quitting (although way easier in other ways).

But if you could graph my alcohol intake over the past fifteen or so months the decline would be self evident.

This is really the first time I have felt like I could brag about it.

It became the wrong reasons after a few years.

Mainly because I was dysphoric, but mixing depression with a depressant is not smart.

And you've developed other ways to cope?

Yeah I cant be around booze or alcoholocaust anymore  I just want to punch them because its always some deeper flaw deep down they are trying to hide . Im all about being who you say you are. Power comes from within and you let others take that power.

Yup. I don't think alcohol has ever helped me cope.

My life changed and I didn't feel the need to drink and hide any more.

Well you drank/drink(?) to relieve symptoms of depression, yes?

You say you've changed and don't need it anymore, but it's my understanding that you've only gone a week (in 14 years) without it.

one week is a huge step for people that drink. I can barely make it two days without a beer

I'm not saying it isn't, but I also don't think the storm is over.
