It's been two official days of sobriety. I've tried in the past, but the social nature in me draws me back. The best friends I've ever had have all been made thru alcohol. Military, we tend to move alot and it's a way to get to know our members and break barriers that we tend to keep up.
My reasons for seeking sobriety, aren't that there's one specific incident or person hurt or tragic story. But in an attempt to surround myself with others seeking growth and development. I want a healthy life with good responsible friends.
When I am deployed I get to be the best version of myself. No worries, just work, lift, eat healthy and be sober. Very hard to maintain with the distractions and work load when I'm home.
