If you have ever asked yourself why you drink so much or so often then you have come to the right place to see if maybe you should stop drinking. Remember last night and the great time you had with everyone? Or maybe the night before. I have been there too many times to count. Below is a list of results you get from drinking often and heavily. Let’s see how many you have experienced to determine if maybe it’s time to stop drinking or maybe just thinking it’s time to stop drinking.
1. Waking up and not knowing where you are or what happened the night before
2. Waking up next to someone you don’t know and what you might have done with that person
3. Looking in your wallet and wondering how you spent $250(this was my worst and most frequent)
4. Finding bruises and bumps of being sore in random places on your body all of a sudden.
5. Guys-- developing fat around your hips where you never had any before, and your scrotum hair turning white and brittle.
6. Constantly making bad decisions while drinking
7. Everyone calls you to go out and not to be the DD
8. You have lots of friends but few if any very close friends
9. You ruin a relationship because you won’t stop drinking
10. You are broke
I have gone through all of those things. There are so many others to name but if you are still reading this then you can name many others. In fact, I encourage you to post with your personal experiences from drinking or anyone that you may know.
The reason that I started this was to help anyone that thinks they may need to stop drinking. I want to hear your stories and experiences. It wasn't till I decided to write down all of the effects on me from drinking that I realized it was time to stop drinking. I didn't seek help or go to AA or quit right away, I just kept writing. As weeks went on that list got bigger and bigger. One day after a night of drinking I woke up and my dog was dead. When I finally figured out what had killed her I wanted to die. The night she died, I came home and poured everclear in her bowl, alot of it. I don't know why I did, just that she drank all of it and I killed my closest friend. I was heartbroken and destroyed. She was my best friend. I had no close friends except for her.
That was the last night I ever drank. Killing a loved one is indescribeable. It was all because I could not stop drinking. I just wish that I chose to stop drinking one day sooner.
Ask yourself one question? Is it time to stop drinking? Maybe, but you are the only one that has the power to do it yourself. At least try before something happens to you like it did to me. You CAN stop drinking.. You just have to try…..
