Stop Drinking Alcohol – Daily Thought

By Madison


It hit me today, that I have really stopped drinking. I have quit drinking alcohol for good. I have completely given up my entire way of life. The life I was used to living for the past seventeen years is over. It is a very strange feeling. It leaves me wondering why on earth I had to go through all that pain for so long. I have to admit that there were some good times, but on the whole I was miserable, lonely and felt trapped. Alcohol just kept me going, like a hamster on a wheel for seventeen years.

I just wonder what it was all about. What am I supposed to learn from it all? What am I supposed to do with all that I have learnt now? I know for sure that I should share what I have gone through so that people out there who want to stop drinking alcohol realize that it can be done, and that is what Recovery Princess is all about. Maybe there is no big reason for why this all happened other than I made a whole series of wrong choices in life, but then if that were true I wouldn’t be sitting here feeling so grateful and happy about how my life is shaping out right now.

Whatever the reason, I am pleased with where I am at today and I am looking forward to tomorrow so maybe I am exactly where I am supposed to be.

    Hi Madison.

    Congratulations on your efforts in giving up alcohol.

    I had a period of about 4 months last year where I was sober. It was absolutely fantastic.

    Unfortunately, I fell off the wagon. I am seriously considering doing it again at the end of June this year. I’d do it sooner, but I’m going on a family holiday soon and want to wait till after that.

    I know that life is better without it.

    Once again, congratulations on the great work.

    Kind Regards

    Brett.

    Hi Brett,

    Thank you for commenting.

    Life is certainly better without it. I sat down to write a post this morning and the title of it was ‘I love sobriety’, I never could have dreamed of thinking such a thing this time last year.

    In the past, the longest I stayed sober was 6 weeks.

    When you know that life is better without it, you will eventually have the strength to go for sobriety again. Just don’t give up trying.

    Thanks again Brett.
