This is the world’s most low-key alcohol recovery blog. I know it’s ugly (I’m a web designer – trust me, this is ugly). But the point of this blog right now is not to make money or impress any one with my design skills. It’s a place to unload a whole lot of thoughts on how I’ve spent the last 5 months getting sober and staying sober (and feeling good about it). I don’t have a plan to update this site regularly but I hope that I do. I hope that people stumble across it and find some things that are helpful. I wish us all luck in becoming the best sober versions of ourselves.
Quick note – when I talk about sobriety, I am not talking about becoming a teetotaler. My end game has always been to avoid having to give up alcohol completely if I can avoid it. I’m gonna be honest – on occasion, I love a nice glass of red wine with dinner or an ice cold beer on a hot day. So if the thought of me still drinking every now and then offends your delicate sensibilities, this is not the blog for you. Don’t worry, I plan to address the Big Lie of “normal drinkers” and why moderation is most likely to fail in future blog posts. However, I believe people who have had problems controlling their alcohol intake in the past (like me) are NOT doomed to a life where alcohol is forever forbidden to them. Time may prove me wrong and I’ll be sure to admit my failings if it comes to that. Until then, this is my story.
