Day 29 of 30 Of Sober September Detox - What Next?

Liquor Lock

With only one more full day to go I’m kind of dreading this thing being over. As I said yesterday, there’s a lot of parties that I have to attend once this is over. I don’t really want to drink when it starts again. I’m thinking tomorrow at midnight I’m going to hide for a week or so.

I feel like I’ve just done so much good that when this is all over it’s all going to reverse itself, which would truly suck. I have to do what I can to avoid that, and I think it’s easier said than done.

It’s kind of cool that a lot of you guys have considered me to be some sort of an authority on how to do this. I’ve had plenty of phone calls and emails from different people who seems to be in the same sort of boat that I was less than two months ago, wanting change. It’s giving me an ego. I’m just kidding. It’s humbling actually cause I really haven’t done anything. That’s just the it. I haven’t done anything.

I haven’t smoked, or drank, or done a bunch of other unhealthy things. I’m not guide to self help. I just think that a lot of people don’t give themselves the benefit of the doubt. All it takes is a bit of discipline, but as you can see from my comments above, once you start, you’ll want to finish. This applies for a lot of things. If you want to quit smoking. If you want to quit drinking. If you want to get rid of some totally idiotic boyfriend who assaults you. You just stop. It’ll be hard at first, but you will get through it and you’ll feel better about yourself once you’re done.

Now that this is coming to an end, I want to start a new project that’ll help who I am and who I want to be. I don’t know what to do yet.

Any suggestions?

Day 28 of 30 Of Sober September Detox - Only Hours To Go

Nick Field

I have less than 48 hours left before I’m done my month of sobriety.

A lot of people have asked me the question. So are you going to get hammered on Tuesday night? At first I say, “You know me!” and let their imagination run wild, but I’m having some second thoughts. I’ve already made a few plans for things to do once midnight October first rolls around. I’m actually not too keen on them on though. There’s tonnes of things I have to do and lots of people that I have to see before I leave for the west coast. I’m sad to say I don’t really want to get hammered. I’m dreading a hangover. I’m dreading not having theenergy that I’m getting used to. I’m dreading spending the money on alcohol that I used to.

I’ve actually learned a lot of discipline of money in the last month. I’ve been pretty tight on coin since my return from Australia and between this move. I’ve been very good about the money I’ve spent this month, and that’s including a trip to Las Vegas.

Anyway, the point of this post is to let those interested know that I’m not really that keen on going back to (anything close to) my old ways. This comment is true. Thanks to the anonymous person who posted it.

I vow to party hard when I do party though. I’m still reigning champ. Got something to say about it?

Heh, I hope so.
