Hey guys, I recently stopped drinking completely, and I'd like to talk about my experience getting sober. I used to drink a bottle of Jack daily. Now I'm 2 months sober, I feel great, and this is my story

01-24-21, 7:13 PM<br><br>Roughly two months ago I decided to quit drinking after a night that in many ways connected me to the world in ways I didn't understand before, it was a special night that brought me to a different point of view of myself. I'd been drinking to excess for about 8 years, sometimes I would quit for a few months, but most of the time I'd indulge in the bottle, about half a bottle of Jack a day, usually mixed with juice or soda. I drank through my teenage years and college in excess, I woke up in jail, hospitals, I was told I did things on rooftops and in the morning didn't remember much of it, I was told by people close that they were worried about me, and I knew they were right. My frat brothers didn't drink like I did, most of them could have a beer or two and be done, but I needed to keep going. I needed the drink to be in control, to be loose, I needed it to be happy, until I didn't. One night I realized that I was acting like an idiot, I realized that I wasn't really in control, the bottle was in control, and that night I flushed a bottle of Jack down the toilet, and I stopped drinking, and I haven't drank in two months. I've thought about it several times, and about the difficulty of quitting, about the way that it's perceived by others, and I figured I'd tell my story in the hopes that it might help someone else, or myself. I've realized that when I drink too much, I lose control of myself, my life, my soul, and I realize that it's not worth it. If you're struggling, please know that you are not alone. This is my story, and this is how I'm bettering myself, and working on my redemption. <br><br>[IMG alt=""](/r/Drugs/comments/fe9m8f/img_20210224_195044348.jpg?x=0.38063342547343837&y=0.42857142857142855&s=ec32151a6d6cb1b9a7d231d30d1a0d6e)
