For all those folks that are addicted to alcohol often may ask themselves, "will sobriety change my life" and I am here to tell you that sobriety will certainly change your life in a awesome way that would you would never even realize.
The only way to find out just how sobriety changes lives, is to go for it, and get sober once and for all. You have nothing to lose when trying this awesome new lifestyle. You will be surprised just life changes when you are clean and sober.
I thought about the idea to get sober a few times in my drinking days, but I thought what the heck, it is probably too late to make that change in my life since I have been drinking alcohol for so many years and the damage is done so why even try?
I was dead wrong in that theory of mind, because in October of 2009 I made that huge decision to try and get and stay sober hopefully for the last time. I made my mind up and picked my sober date and stuck by that day, which I might add was the day I made my mind up to get sober forever.
I thought, why wait and prolong my sobriety. If I was ready to get sober then lets just start NOW and not wait a minute longer. That made more sense than saying, "I think I will wait until Monday after the weekend is over and I can get plastered just that one more time."
You know as well as I know that wouldn't work, because that would lead to the next weekend and so on. I had to be sincere and honest with myself and not let anything change my mind to get and stay sober on that day I chose to stop drinking alcohol.
If you are struggling with an addiction to alcohol you need to try your hardest to get away from those demons that are ruining your life, and other lives as well.
Make up your mind once and for all and don't back down for anything. Sure, sobriety is going to be a tough thing to achieve, but in the end, your life will be wonderful as mine is right now, writing article after article in hopes that just one article will touch someones life, and they too can find long term sobriety as I did.
Nothing good in life is easy. It takes hard work to make it happen as staying sober will be hard work as well, but worth every bit of work and sweat. In the long run you will be proud of yourself and those that love and care for you will be just as proud or even more proud. You will save your own life by just surrendering to your demons once and for all.
Never think for a minute that sobriety will come to you, you have to go after sobriety full force and not stop until you have achieved long term sobriety. It can be done by anyone if that is truly what you want in your life. To be able to live the clean life and live a happy and healthy life as well.
SO IF YOU ARE ASKING YOURSELF OR ANYONE ELSE, WILL SOBRIETY CHANGE MY LIFE, THE ANSWER IS A HUGE YES!!! YOUR LIFE WILL INDEED CHANGE ALL FOR THE BETTER!

Quit Drinking Alcohol And Start Living
We are here on earth one time, and for some, it maybe a long time and there are those that choose to shorten their lives and not have a lenghty time here all because of an avoidable addiction to alcohol.
Quit drinking alcohol and start living the life you deserve and live it clean and sober. I am sure your families and friends would agree that you are a much better person sober. Do you think so?
Do you really think your life is a good one being addicted to alcohol? Do you think you can do better with the way you choose to live your life, and if so, what are you going to do about?
Are you strong enough to beat your addiction, or do you think it is too late to surrender to your addiction and just let your inner demons destroy the rest of the life you have left here on earth?
REMEMBER: It is NEVER too late to change your life around and get clean and sober.
These are some of the questions you should really be asking yourself if you truly want to change your life and live it clean and sober.
They are not hard questions at all to answer. You have to be honest with yourself and just take a look at your life and see if you are living life or just surviving and being here on earth as a number. Stand up to your addiction to alcohol and take the action necessary to get sober. Once you get clean and sober the work carries on with staying sober. One day at a time and you will see just how sobriety can change your life and you will then begin to start living life like you should.
Life is all that you make it and you are the only one that has the power to change it, so what are you waiting for? Start living life and enjoy every minute of it being sober because you never know when your life will be snuffed out in a second.
If you feel that you have a problem with drinking alcohol and wonder where to turn, then just look at the people around you that want in the worse way to help you quit drinking alcohol. Once you have amde up your mind to stop drinking, then turn to those that love and care about you and ask for the help you need to get sober.
I thought over two years ago that sobriety would never be a part of my life again, but boy was I wrong. I made my mind up to quit drinking and start living the life I was put here on earth for. To be happy, healthy and positive in life is a wonderful thing, and anyone can do this if and only if you have the willingness, desire and the determination to get sober and stay sober.
Sobriety will never hurt anyone, although your addiction to alcohol sooner or later will get the best of you, one way or another. Try sobriety and you will see a whole new life that you thought was never possible.

Are You Living In Denial With Your Addiction
There are so many people that are addicted to alcohol, but they think there is nothing wrong with them. They think what they are doing by abusing alcohol is not a problem, but they have no idea what they are putting themselves and others that love them through.
The big question to the alcoholic is, "are you living in denial with your addiction?" I know now being that I am sober, that I certainly lived in denial for many years. I said the same thing. I am not doing anything wrong and I am not hurting a soul so why is everyone saying I have an addiction to alcohol? They were my famous sayings while so blinded by my addiction.
I believe the word denial is, "the absence of acceptance." The alcoholic is not willing to accept they have a drinking problem, no matter what anyone tells them or even what they see when looking into a mirror. They truly can see through their own eyes that they are slowly, but surely killing them self. The old saying is that, "pictures or mirrors don't lie" and I can testify to that by what I saw in myself as I slowing was declining in health and looks.
Living in denial with your addiction is something that you the alcoholic can only change. Hopefully the alcoholic will realize that they have a problem with drinking before it is too late. For some people that are addicted may never see the light and get out of their denial and for others they may catch it in enough time to change their life and live it clean and sober for the rest of their time here on earth. As for myself, it took many years to see the light and to get out of the denial I lived in for so long. I now know that sobriety is a wonderful thing and I only wished I would have realized it much earlier in life, but as they say, "better late than never."
Once you have realized you are an alcoholic and need help, and admit it to yourself and everyone else, than getting clean and sober is going to enter your life, because you have surrendered and want to get help and want sobriety back into your life.
As hard as it might seem, getting clean and sober is possible for anyone addicted to alcohol or even using drugs. You may say, "yes, easier said than done," but I have to tell you, I did it and never really thought I could until I put my mind to it and got out of the denial I lived in for so long. Once you realize you have a real problem then it should be no problem admitting you live in denial and you want to do something about it by surrendering to your demons.
If you want a quality life and to be healthy again stand up to your demons and surrender to your addiction. Get out of denial and take action to change your life for the good. Ask for the help you need to get better and never hide behind your addiction because those you are hiding from know the real story, but you may think they don't. You would be surprised just how many people are talking about you without you even knowing. I call say this because once I got clean and sober is when I found out the true feelings people thought about me.
Give sobriety a second chance and you will be surprised of just how great your life will be living life sober.
