My grandfather was an alcoholic. My father was an alcoholic. I had been exposed to getting drunk at an early age. I always found a way to justify my alcohol addiction until one day I saw a video on Facebook of a kid asking a grown up to buy him a beer and the guy buys him a bottle of liquor. The boy was so happy about this "adult", who should be looking out for his well being, giving him liquid death to consume. Then I remembered that's exactly how it happened with me. Except I was minding my business on my way to middle school. This guy randomly just handed me a free giant bottle of gin🤦🏾. Never seen him again after that.
I broke down crying 😢. Knowing it starts out as just that one bottle but when you are young, depressed and looking for an "escape" to reality, that drink eventually becomes your best friend. And after that it becomes your master.
I would only drink from time to time from 13 - 17. But after 18, I've been getting drunk off beer and liquor almost everyday until 28 years old. I was a slave to my alcohol addiction for a whole decade. It almost killed me a few times. But now it has officially been 2 months since I've legitimately been sober. No beer, no liquor, no w**d, no to***co, no pills, no "lean" and no synthetic w**d. I lied the last time I said I was sober for a year. I had stopped drinking liquor but was getting super drunk off beer and other alcoholic beverages everyday. I used to smoke a pack of ci******es a day for years. Now i damn near gag when i smell burning to***co. I went from having to get drunk everyday to even function in life to not even thinking about alcohol at all.
Life's a trip lol. Proud of myself tho ✝️ 💪🏾
All Glory to God 🙏
