What are you afraid of ?
Are you afraid to get clean and sober ?
Are you worried what your drinking partners will say ?
Rest assure, you will be better off then your drinking buddies when you decide to get clean and sober. When the alcoholic has had alcohol in their system for so many years, like myself, it tends to be a huge part of the alcoholics life and they are afraid to do without it, as I was.
What will I feel like being clean and sober? Will I get sick from the absence of alcohol in my body?
These are the questions I asked myself before I decided to quit drinking alcohol.
I was scared to death thinking of all the different things that may happen to me when I became sober, but it wasn't enough for me to back down and stay addicted to alcohol. I was determined to change my life around and live it like it should be lived and not let alcohol run my life for me.
Since I became clean and sober I now realize that sobriety will never hurt you, it's your addiction to alcohol that will kill you in the end and you can take that to the bank.
If you are like I was and need to drink every night, seven days a week for years without a break, than I would seriously think about getting help or just tossing in the towel, because you will never beat your demons and the games they play on you and your body. So, you might as well surrender to them and get sober once and for all. They will win in the end if you keep on the path of self destruction.
I believe I caught it just in time before my whole world fell apart and thank God I did. It has been just over 2 years sober now and I don't miss the drink at all. I have no desire to drink or the urge to drink at all. I am not afraid to be around people that still drink alcohol because I know that I am stronger than my addiction now and I have learned the best word of all and that is to be able to say NO!!
So if you are afraid to get clean and sober, don't be, because it will be the best thing you could ever do in your life. You will feel free once again and not having your addiction run your life wherever you go. You will now be in charge of your own life again.
