Day 1: No Alcohol, No Drugs

I've been drinking about a 6 pack of Foster's Lager a night. Its not really a lot but the fact that it is everyday causes me to raise an eyebrow.

Also, I wasn't getting buzzed anymore so I switched to Molson XXX. This is all to familiar to me. Always chasing something to get out of myself.

Two other reasons for me stopping:

1) I NEED to be clean and happy again. (Gotta shake those fucking monkey's off my back).

2) Its not good to mix anti-depressants and alcohol. This will definitely cause more chaos in my head.

I've been clean before (two 5 year stints of recovery) so its a road I've travelled before. This time I need to walk this path with a different attitude.

My plan is to keep busy through exercise, chores that I've been putting off, work and, in the Spring, go to school for a Human Services degree that focuses on drug and alcohol treatment and prevention.

I know it will be tough at first but it will get easier.

Its time to stop running and pick up the pieces and rebuild my life.

Right now I feel motivated to do this.

I hope the motivation never leaves.
