Look I'm a straight drank-a-holic and I'm sipping my last drink as we speak.

[2ATMsYouSteppinOrWhat]

I been struggling more than ever. I tried to quit on October 1 and ended up drinking every single day this month. I killed 9 beers before work this morning and barely got a buzz. fukk waiting until January 1st. I’m trying to shake this addiction before that. It’s like I go a few days with no alcohol and once I finally get a taste, I fall down the rabbit hole all over again.

this...

Im going to keep it all the way funky.

I choose not to stop drinking because of withdrawal.

Thats it period.



Nightmares,insomnia and paranoia

So f u if u got a problem with that.

how you do it

I did a couple of things. At first it’s hard but then it gets easier and easier. You feel and look so much better so that gives you motivation to keep it up

1) I downloaded an app so that I could track my progress. I saw how much time and money I was saving.

2) on the app I made a daily pledge. I only focused on being sober one day at a time

3) I opened up and talked to people closest to me. This was by far the hardest but the most necessary. When I wanted to drink I would talk to them and have support in staying sober

4) I cleared alcohol from my home and disengaged from alcohol centered activities for awhile. I’m good now but in the beginning I just didn’t even go

Bruh
If you work nights I'd understand but what time are you waking up to get that hair of the dog in ? 9 beers wasn't shyt to me either but that's still 2 hours worth, right
Worst working experience for me was when I was working IN the county jail kitchen replacing the flooring.
I couldn't start until 4 PM
Had to sign my name and time I arrived daily
Sweatin cold bullets, shakin like a leaf, illegible chicken scratch writing. I couldn't *print* my damn name
My boss standing over my shoulder (we had many discussions about my alcoholism and his Christian ass wanted to "save" me) watchin me struggle
County clerk lookin at me like
Every other day I'm drinking at 4. This one had me starting work at 4, pullin up IN the jail of all places just a wretched mess
It was a complete nightmare

Im going to keep it all the way funky.

This is a very important part.
Me-I was unafraid to express my struggles. Ma dukes always believed in me and showed support. Knew it was something I would eventually work through. Talked about it with my multiple bosses (who kept me employed, partially in part due to my honesty and desire for better), coworkers, everybody in my life.
When you're 100% transparent and up front with everyone in your life, you feel like you're not hiding a secret.
1 - it's not a secret. They know.
2 - people respect you for being honest. It humanizes us. On paper we're "addicts/alcoholics". But we're also humans like the people who judge us with their own shortcomings.
When you have people in your corner who understand your situation it makes it easier to navigate.
Godspeed brethren
