hii :) i’ve been an alcoholic for the past 3 years, i did the whole thing, hiding bottles under my bed, having a bottle collection of over 100 bottles big and small all over my apartment that i had only accumulated in about 2 months, filling my water bottles up with vodka or whiskey to class, showing up to every event drunk, overdoing it at the bar, getting my stomach pumped once a month, cutting off friends so i can drink alone in peace without judgement, putting myself in dangerous situations, sleep paralysis demons, clubbing every weekend, not eating for weeks at a time because alcohol was just fine for me and i consumed so much my body starting treating it like my food intake, etc., like i said i’ve done it all lol, BUT, i just made it to 2 weeks and a half sober from alcohol :) and i genuinely didn’t even think that i would make it here, but here we are. within the span of the first week not only did i go sober, but i also landed a six figure job, and am getting my first car at the end of this month. it’s only been two weeks i know, i can’t believe it either, but i genuinely don’t believe i would be in the position i am in right now if i hadn’t stopped drinking just two weeks ago! also a nice bonus is that everyday i see my friends and family they all smile at me and tell me how they’re so proud of me, some of them have even given me money to show how proud they are of me or taken me out to eat to celebrate :) i know it might not sound like a lot but to me it means the world to me because for the first time in a long time instead of looking at me like a failure alcoholic that’s gonna drink herself to death, they look at me with hope, love, and pride, and it’s been so long since i’ve felt those things i had forgotten how they even felt. so yea if anyone else in the same boat sees this, keep going!, and yes it does get better even in the beginning, it’s never too late to turn your life around🥹🩵!!
