I went out for dinner today with family and saw a half bald guy with few hair in front of his head.... Drinking beer ! And what ever hair were left they were nicely combed and protected. Over all look of the guy was as it he is not happy about his current state of his hair style. He was holding beer glass and his eye were saying ... Why me ? Now the funny thing is that was me about 2 years back. Half bald ! And when ever I used to see myself in mirror I used to feel bad, sick, and felt why me ? Used to find it really ugly. Half bald guy in early 30's. Then I was partial grey ... So used to feel sick applying hair color to half baldness. And it happend very fast I lost most of it in last 8 years !
So one day I was drinking ... Got drunk and decided to shave myself ... Completely !went to barber shop got the job done and since then I was able to eliminate the root cause ... No hair no regrets ! But there was big challenges and reliefs. Challenges how to stay bald. How to shave everyday. I recall once in Zurich I paid EURO 80 for a head shave. Then got tools like electric razors, then special razors. But slowly learned it. Now I shave my head everyday ... Finally I became a confident fully bald guy ... No change in my look when ever I go to see myself in mirror. Same me ! That happened 2 years ago ....
Now I had a similar problem with AL when ever I used to drink it I used to feel sick. When I wanted to give up I could not. Looking myself in mirror, Red eyes, bloated stomach and more importantly depression, guilt, shame .... Why me ? Similar feeling of disguise and anger. Then I did the crazy thing one day while I was shaving My hair I decided to stop drinking ! I logged on to MWO ... Met lots of people. But being sober was hard I needed tools and guidance and advice. Support. And now I am mastering my long term sobriety just like I mastered shaving my head ! No drink ... No guilt, no shame.
Now I am a sober bald Happy Guy !
So moral so story if u want to be sober ? Shave your head ! :H
