January 1st, 2010
With a little nudge from a good friend I have decided to stop drinking for 6 months to save my future, and in many ways, my life. I am 27 years old and I feel like I have failed at life. I use alcohol to make myself feel better, more confident, and friendlier. It helps me come up with conversation, and makes me more outgoing and sociable. True, alcohol does provide me with those feelings and (delusions), however, it comes with some very serious and unpleasant side effects. More often than not, alcohol has led to countless fights with friends, many one night stands, and has put me in dozens of dangerous situations such as wandering around city streets late at night, being locked out of my apartment all night, going home with strangers, and even driving drunk. Alcohol has in many ways nearly ruined my life.
Nearly ruined. As of January 1st, 2010 I have committed to stop drinking for the period of 6 months. I hope to prove that a) I have the strength, will, and determinations to follow through, b) by not drinking I will improve the quality of my life, and c) my improved quality of life will be what gives me the confidence to lead a more friendly and outgoing life.
I have decided to use this blog as a way to hold myself accountable to this grand decision, as well as a way to monitor my progress along the way. Welcome to my journey, and please excuse the punctuation.
