ronniegwilliams Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 That's awesome buddy. I'm on month two of sobriety and it's going pretty damn well. The first two weeks were awful, due to alcohol withdrawal (I really did drink a lot), but after that passed it's been awesome, especially knowing the money I pissed away can go toward actual items that I can keep longer than a few hours. youmightbewrong 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almightyseancore Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 i find that i'm not a total goofy bastard when i'm not high of half drunk all day. i'm usually annoying as hell in person (if not here too). it's hard being double super dad now that the wife is gone, so i figured it was best for everyone if i did this. i had the shakes for a few days, but i've gotten over 'em. i'm proud of myself. actin' all mature and shit. dethrock, ronniegwilliams, jase and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youmightbewrong Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 So awesome. I've been clean from 'other things' for a little over two years now. It's amazing how clearly you begin to think after awhile. You realize how cloudy your mind was before. A bigger plus is you can buy twice as many records (or more) and still have money to spare. ronniegwilliams and almightyseancore 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadmonkey Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Good job dude, I'm also staying sober this month. After which I think I'm just going to reign it in and drink a lot less, except certain occasions. I think a year at the bottom of a bottle is long enough.

That's pretty accurate, I did a whole year before I finally realized I wanted to try something different and much better for me physically and mentally.

yocaseycasey Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I go out for day beers with my buddy Monday through Friday. He gets a break between 1 and 2:30 so we always meet at the pub. I spend about $20 a day on beers at the bar. That's $100 a week. That's $5200 a year. That's STUPID. zacaroo21, almightyseancore and rudeboydh 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I woke up on Jan 1, 2000 and decided to have a new years resolution to give up drugs and booze. Fast forward to 2013 and still havent touched either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almightyseancore Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 y'all niggas is good niggas. i don't think i've had a "real" sober day in at least 15 years, until this week. every time i've quit something it's been booze, and i always picked it right back up within a month. i've never quit pot. i've never blamed pot for my behavior or my problems. and i'm starting to see that it might have been a big factor in everything. my wife said one of the reasons she left me was because i was so immature and annoying, which i've noticed i'm completely not when i'm not smoking. i'm not happy or proud that i picked up cigarettes again, but damn do they help.

youspinmeround Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Everything may seems likes it sucks now but if you keep with it you will look back on all the stupidity it caused I feel so much healthier, happier and more pleasurable to be around sober Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyseancore Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 i'm a lot calmer, granted i'm still in a pretty heavy depression. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek™ Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 And I'd say that's to be expected, completely, given everything that's happened to you. The fact of the matter is that you're bettering yourself. You've got a direction established, and you have enough clarity to see where you were and where you need to be. That's really half the battle, and the fact that you're making such decent progress, already, should be a testament to your ability to find happiness. Whenever and however that may be. You're working towards it, and that's what counts right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviolentworld Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 keep it up my man. growing up with an alcoholic mother and having a big addictive personality i know what you are going through. the thing that saved my life was having kids. the joy of seeing your kids face glow with happiness is way better than any other high imo. just keep them in mind when you feel bad my man.

almightyseancore Posted February 9, 2013 Author Share Posted February 9, 2013 my life has changed so much this year. here's a list. switched from beer to whiskey. stopped eating. lost wife. started smoking half a pack a day. shaved beard. took out lip ring. took off wedding ring. quit drinking and drugs completely. now smoking two packs a day. EDIT: really more like, 25 to 30 cigs a day. so not really two. still eating less than a meal a day. also the hole where my lip ring was is irritated as shit and getting scabby. no fun there. now if only i could start writing songs again.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Nice! Once you take your lip ring out you are a real person. Give the no booze thing a go for a bit. The urge to drink will never go away but if you can go booze free to a while (say a month or two) you can start to develop so more productive habits. And once you so that, if you reintroduce drinking you might find you keep the more productive stuff as well and / or boozing become less of priority. Worked for me anyway. Took a month off (Jan.) and even though I'm drinking again now I zapped my unproductive habits and am designing and working in the evenings way more. Good lucks bud.
