“I didn’t know you had a problem with alcohol…”
No, I wasn’t physically dependent.
I never hit “rock bottom.”
I never went to Alcoholics Anonymous.
I never considered myself an alcoholic.
It never interfered with my work.
Yes, it seemed like I was living a great life.
I was travelling the world.
I was running a business.
I was living the dream.
On the outside.
But, inside I was in hell.
I wanted to quit every day.
I knew I could do better.
But every day I fell back into the same routine,
The same habits,
Not knowing how to change.
I quit
Every day
In my head
Only to be seduced
Again
Maybe
This
Time
Won’t
Hurt
But it did hurt
Every time
My habits were stronger
Than my willpower
I had to change my habits
But how?
I changed my mind about alcohol by reading the stories of others and by changing my habits one by one. This website is dedicated to sharing my story, to providing others with inspiration to live a creative and alcohol free life, and to exploring the role of alcohol in our lives as a society.
