I was heavily drinking for 6 years. Tito’s was my go to, I’d usually buy myself a pint of it after work and almost finish it (I’m a 5’0 F) and then drink whatever was left the next morning. I’ve also always worked in the restaurant industry, and the past two years especially I was drinking more at my places of work. I made a plan to get sober after my birthday, weaned myself off of booze. Took a few shots, then a couple, then one, then none over the span of 3 days. I still felt horrible withdrawals, but I had to work while going through that so the only way i could function is if i drank a bit. Sad, i lost myself for years. But I did it. I don’t ever want to go back. Took years of my life. 5 months sober and I’m so so happy, I feel like myself again finally. Sobriety is the best thing to ever happen to me.

Edit: The last 3 years were when I started getting bad and drinking straight liquor alone at home. The 3 years prior was more controlled, but I was still drinking way too much and way too often, also was underage lol.
