word up, homie. one of my oldest homies has been clean for about a month now, after another one od'd about a month and a half ago. He was in the same situation and skating seems to be working. stay clean.
I haven't drank in 2 weeks. This is the longest I've got in about 10 years. No greens either. Just mad yoga, raw fruit/veggie smoothies, lentils, beans, and running. I feel like a champ. And I am almost fearful to start drinking again. It's not like i don't hold down a job and take decent care of myself but i spend most of the cash i make on drinking beers and shit. If i start at 1pm it's on until bedtime, if i start at 8pm it's on til 1am. Like i said i feel great, like a fucking champ. Clean and it's a weird place to be in because I started doing this as a cleanse/28th birthday gift to myself and didn't really want to drink until today, but I'm pushing for the end of June anyways, and don't know if i want to start up again because of how i feel clean and sober.

I don't hate on anybody for drinking/partying, lots of people can handle it without having it negatively effecting their life, I'm just not one of them. I encourage anybody who feels that their partying is fucking up their life to get sober though. I tried for a long time just on my own, or trying to only smoke weed and not drink/do hard drugs but honestly the only way I've been able to do it and be happy is by going to AA. Going to meetings isn't for everyone, but it's worked for me.
If things are going good for you and you feel good sober, why go back to drinking? I got to the point where any of the positive aspects of partying were long gone, and every time I'd start getting fucked up again after being sober for a while it wasn't even fun anymore. Anyway I'll end my rant about getting sober and shit, It's just sad because I know of SO many dudes I used to skate with that were gnarly skaters that don't even skate anymore because all they do is drink/do heroin/smoke crack/whatever. Like I said I didn't even really skate for a few years because I was caught up partying/hustling, and now that I'm sober my skating has gotten so much better and I feel like a 14 year old again skating every day and loving every minute of it
