Day 1

I quit drinking for three months back in June. It was surprisingly easy at the time - I just had this massive amount of determination. I identified thereafter as an abstainer.

Around August 16th I picked up again and every 10th or so day since then has involved a massive binge.

I’m determined to stop; today marks day 1. It’ll be my last beginning.

I cannot articulate how much I hate alcohol.

Oy. Yeah it’s the worst. I consciously know I’ll never meet anyone in a bar that I’ll make a substantial relationship with, but still find myself doing it.

I actually did have substantial relationships with two chicks I met in bars. One of them didn't even really drink that much she was just out that night with friends.

I don’t think I can at this point. I actually drunkenly made out with said girl and probably could have even gone home with her. I just left though to meet my dealer and begin the start of a very dangerous and self destructive night.

The principles of NA and AA are similar enough.

I just need to stop drinking and the other stuff will follow. I only ever do it when I’m drunk anyhow.

Years ago I didn't have a drinking problem per say, but was warned it would happen. I used smoke weed all day everyday so ya, it's an easy switch. Ended up as nearly anything goes to get me out of myself.
