Everyone on earth, sometime or another has had some bad times, and has had stress in their lives. Some of us can handle these bad times, and then there are the ones, including myself, who turn to a different source.
Unfortunately, these sources can lead up to Alcohol or Drug abuse. We start out just trying to relieve our stress, and try to feel a little better about what is happening in our life, so we turn to Alcohol or Drugs to fix the problem.
As we continue to drink to relieve our stress, we start to get used to how our problems seem to disappear while under the influence. At this time our bodies start to become used to this pressure release, and we have now gone from Abuse to now Addition.
I can say this because, this is what happened to me.
I was to weak to face the stress and the problems on my own without a crutch to lean on. Now, after admitting that this has gone to far, I had to figure out how I was going to get out of this addiction, and face my problems head on and become Sober again.
I was afraid to stop drinking because I was worried about what might happen to me if I should stop. My body was now so use to the Alcohol and I wondered how I would feel with out it.
Everyone would say, just slow it up a little, cut down a little at a time. Well, that’s great if your are that type of person. I, was not, I had to face the fact that I would have to go Cold Turkey or nothing.
So, there I went on my journey to Sobriety. I was afraid, but I knew I could do it, not only for myself, but for my family and friends as well.
I started off with the most important thing first, and that was a Positive Attitude . Now, I have to get through the Alcohol Detox part of my journey.
In the beginning of my journey to Sobriety, yes I was not feeling that great, but drinking every day of my life, I also didn’t feel wonderful by far. But, as days and weeks went by I felt as if the world was lifted off my shoulders. I was surviving on my own without my crutch.
As time goes by, your body gets use to NOT having the alcohol in you system, just the same way as it gets use to HAVING alcohol in your system.
Things began to start getting better in my life, and everything started to become easier to deal with. I learned to deal with my problems being Sober. When I drank the problems where always there but I just didn’t care due to the alcohol.
Granted, so many people have an Addiction that is far worse than others. I was fortunate that I could do this Detox on my own, thanks to all the support of my family and my good friends, and most of all, God, that has given me the willingness and the strength to be able to do this on my own.
