Ash Wednesday! Gains with abstains: What I have learned throughout 2 years of Sobriety

I  just came up on my 2 yrs of sobriety from alcohol, and I know I should like a broken record but I firmly believe that 
You don't just abstain from alcohol you abstain from the people that encourage you to use it as a crutch. 

And boy have I lost alot of friends over the fact I refuse to use alcohol as a crutch and an escape from my problems and the world's. 

Fuck your safety bubble and crutches there is nothing more empowering then being stone cold sober and seeing people still stuck in these cycles of abusing substances. Dont get me wrong I like to escape now and again too. But I am not gonna down a six pack, I am going to take a walk or a hike instead. 

Abstaining from alcohol was one of the best choices I have ever made. I've finally came to the conclusion I tolerated way too much of peoples disrespect in the past, made excuses for their poor behaviors, and continued to put others above myself. 

I would never do that again. My sobriety has shown me that while I am a constant factor in my life, it was others habits that I adopted as my own that were hindering me from achieving everything I wanted to. 
Picture
​Reality is what you make it so why alter it with alcohol there are literally 1000000 other better things to do with your time. I no longer entertain low vibrational people who refuse to change and address their issues. Its freed up alot of time for me to pursue my art, new passions, and travel. I am most likely never going to touch another alcoholic beverage ever again. 

I'll see you next Wednesday!
