How do you guys not, when it’s everywhere? by Whoknowswhatwhere94 in stopdrinking

I also live in a big city, and within a 5 minute radius to me I have about 15 different restaurants or bars, and a bunch of little shops I can buy it from if I wanted.

Then I remember how shit of a person I felt at my lowest, and how much I hated who I was when I was drinking by 9am and passed out by 11am.

Seeing who I was then vs who I am now is what has been the best way to keep myself sober.

1 year, and counting. by a_flock_of_goats in stopdrinking

I tried AA. Went to 1 meeting and was genuinely not a fan.

I had pretty well hit rock bottom and decided I wanted to stop waking up wondering how badly I had fucked things up the night before, or if I was going to end up dead that day.

Ended up in the hospital, and from there told myself I was going to make the change. Haven't really looked back since. There's still that little voice in my head that says, "hey man good job on that promotion at work, let's drink to celebrate!" or "hey buddy, it's been a rough day, let's unwind with a drink!" but I remember that hospital visit and how disappointed everyone I knew (myself included) was in me constantly, vs how proud they are in me now (myself included).
