The sober becoming. What is that about? What does it even mean? And who cares? No one I’m sure. But this will be a place where I document my journey into sobriety. You see, I’ve been fighting this monster for years, if not decades, in one way or another. This particular battle happens to be with alcohol, however at any given time that could change. I’m prone to run from myself, my problems, my pain and my stress. An ounce of uncomfortableness hits me and I run to the bottle. Pills. Needle. Man. Porn. You name it, I’ll use it to numb myself. And I hate that about myself. Every time I do it I regret it, yet I continue to do it. It doesn’t fix the problems, as a matter of fact it usually makes them worse. However, I continue on this merry-go-round of insanity that is addiction. With a new year coming up I have a fresh resolve to “get my shit together.” So this blog will be used to document my emotions, my progress, my failures and give me a safe place to vent.
