There is nothing at wrong with having a social drink now and again, but for many people such as myself, having a social drink once in awhile is impossible.
For millions of people, one or two drinks is not enough, and that includes me. Sure I loved to drink alcohol just as much as the next person, but a social drink just didn't cut it. I needed more and more in order to get to that feeling alcohol gives everyone.
Abusing alcohol, what is your future looking like, I have to ask you?
Do you feel if you continue to abuse alcohol the way you are now your future will be bright and healthy? In my opinion, I don't think so.
Alcohol makes us feel as if we can conquer anything in the world. It makes us feel like we know everything. It makes us feel we are indestructible, and the next morning it makes us feel sick, hungover and wondering why did we drank too much.
It is really worth abusing our bodies with alcohol and for others, drugs. We all know, or at least we should know, alcohol and drugs will catch up with us sooner or later, and when it does, we will be very sorry we abused alcohol and drugs the way we did over the years.
Here we are in a new years 2015, so how about starting it off with a new outlook on life and try your hardest to stop drinking and abusing alcohol, and in other cases using drugs.
We are all here on Earth but one time, so make that one and only life you have a wonderful and sober life, and start the New Year of 2015 a great one, and one to be proud of.
By saying being proud of, means, that you changed your life and realized that alcohol and drugs will kill you in the end and you have made that decision to change and live that one life you have clean and sober.
Lets make 2015 a year to remember by living life with sobriety. You will thank yourself in the end!

Abusing Alcohol And Your Body
Abusing alcohol and your body is one thing we the alcoholics never think about. Once we get that first taste of alcohol of the day, the eye opener so they say, we think of nothing but trying to reach that buzz we had only hours before.
It truly is sad for me to think and talk about something like alcohol that was a huge part of my life, and my families life as well for so many years. Being sober now for over 4 years I get sick to even think about what I put my body through all those years abusing alcohol and my body.
Now is the time like no other for each alcohol and anyone who is addicted to alcohol and can't seem to stop drinking. Sobriety is right at your finger tips if and only if you choose to change your life for the better.
I have found out through my own experiences with drinking too much, that drinking and abusing alcohol and your body is so foolish. I often asked myself, "why can't I just have one or two drinks and call it the day just like others I watched through my dark days of addiction?"
They seem to be perfectly satisfied with one or two drinks, and I and other alcoholics just can't get enough alcohol in our bodies. I think for myself that I was just too weak and let the demons inside me run and try their hardest to ruin my life.
I often wonder till this day, why and how did I get clean and sober 4 years ago? Why couldn't I have done that years before?
The answer I came up with was, "I JUST WASN'T READY TO CHANGE MY LIFE!" I guess you just have to hit rock bottom in order to do something drastic to change you life.
A dear friend of mine, and the one that changed my life with his website says in his addiction site, TAKE MASSIVE ACTION!! Taking action to change your life is great but MASSIVE ACTION is what needs to be done in order to have success and sobriety in your life.
Just remember this one thing when you are abusing your body with alcohol. Each and everyone of us have only BUT ONE life here on Earth, so why would we destroy this one and only body with alcohol when we can just stop drinking and start living clean and sober?
I know it was super hard for me to quit drinking alcohol, as it is for all of the alcoholics out there, but I made my mind up and stuck to the promise I made to myself saying, "I will never, after this day (October 27, 2009, my sober date) touch another alcoholic drink for the rest of my life no matter how good or bad life gets!"
Once you make up your mind, and stick to that decision, you are on your way to living the life of sobriety just as I am right now.
I did it and so can you!! Get out of denial, and just take a look around at the lives you are taking down with you all because of your addiction to alcohol. It is so possible if that is what you want out of the one and only life you have. Get out of denial, think positive and be stronger than your addiction, and believe me things will start to get better each and everyday from that point on.
Check out some other articles I have written about alcohol and positive attitudes in life.

Admitting Your An Alcoholic Is The First Step
There are millions of people all over the world that drink alcohol, but how many of them will admit they have a drinking problem?
Admitting your an alcoholic is the first step towards a new life and a life of sobriety. That's of course if you really want to get sober and live that life of sobriety. I know so many people that really think they have no problem whatsoever with their alcohol consumption. In fact, I was one of those people back almost four years ago.
Denial is a huge thing when it comes to drinking alcohol, drugs or any kind of addiction for that matter. We never think we have a problem, but many people that know you and see you and your actions know better. They can talk to you until they are blue in the face and you will look at them like they have two heads. I know I did when someone approached me and told me I drink too much and I might have a problem.
If we, including myself, just would look at our lives and see which way our life is going, and if you have your eyes wide open and be open mined you will see exactly where you are headed in the future if you continue to drink and abuse alcohol.
If you ignore what you see, and what you have been told by others, then the future will not be a surprise as you look back at those statements, because you were told, and you saw your life through your own eyes, but blew everything off because you were living in denial and never believed a word.
I know for a fact, for me, I knew deep down inside that I have a serious drinking problem, but never wanted to change my life for I was so afraid to be without my alcohol. I was afraid to admit to my family and friends I was a true alcoholic. Although I was a functioning alcoholic, this was one of the reason I thought there was no problem with my drinking.
After all, I never missed work because of those late nights of drinking and never got into fights at bars. I never got a DUI and never arrested for drinking in public or drinking and driving. So I thought to myself, "what seems to be the problem with my drinking?" See, that is how I thought, and I am very sure many alcoholics can relate to these words I speak.
When I speak of the first step admitting your an alcoholic means to get out of your denial you live in and take a good hard look at your life and the lives your are taken down on the way to your rock bottom. Remember you are not only hurting yourself, you are hurting many people that love you and care for you, such as your spouse, children, parents and your friends.
Don't let yourself down or the people that love you. Stand up to your addiction to alcohol and tell your demons goodbye once and for all. You don't need alcohol believe me. Once you have got sober and stay sober you will then realize why in the world was I killing myself when all I had to do is to stop drinking.
Yeah I know, it sounds pretty easy by just writing this, but anyone can stop drinking alcohol anytime you want. The problem is, and the question is, "Do You Really Want To Stop Drinking?"
If you said yes I would love to stop drinking alcohol, then you are on your way to a new life of sobriety. Yes it will be hard and yes it will not be easy by any means, but if you have that determination, the willingness and the desire to change your life it will happen.
You have to make up your mind and just do it and stick to it with no cheating whatsoever. You will need to stay clear from your drinking buddies, the bars and anything that has anything to do with alcohol.
As time goes by you will find it easier and easier to live each day without your crutch, the demons of alcohol.
God Bless to all those that have made it to sobriety and those that are trying so hard to get sober. Never give up hope because your life is full of hope and sobriety is just sitting there for your taken, so go after it and don't look back at your horrible past of addiction.
Stay positive and strong to yourself and never let anyone or anything stand in your way of changing your life and living that one and only life you have, clean and sober.
