To start off I am going to list 10 reason why I wanna quit drinking, and 10 reasons that I plan on doing to make sure I can stay sober. ( I encourage everyone to do the same! )
1. I have wasted 1000's of dollars on drinking and partying.
2. I started using drugs because of drinking.
3. I lost somone I loved very dearly because of my drinking.
4. I hate who I have become once I start drinking
5. The way people think of me when I drink is affecting my friendships with friends and family
6. I feel that I can no longer accomplish anything (this might just be my attitude)
7. I starve for attention and cause people great pain in trying to get them to show me attention.
8. I am concerned that once I start my career that I will not be able to keep a job, or that if I continue to drink there is no point in actually making more money as I will just have more money to party with and cause my self greater harm
9. I've lost my license due to drinking and now have to wait a year before I can find employment in my field.
10. I've wasted the last 5 years of my life, I do not want to waste the next 5.
10 things I plan on doing to stay sober.
1. Take my self out of situations where AL might become a issue
2. Strive to loose enough weight to bring me down to 180lbs, and rebuild muscle after.
3. Save all the money that I would waste on AL and partying.
4. Become a active member on MWO
5. Careless about what people think about me regaurdless if I drink or not.
6. Set long term and short term goals.
7. Quit being stubborn and dwelling on my mistakes.
8. Help anyone I can with anything I can
9. become optimistic vs pessimistic
10. strive to continue learning
I don't know if this really counts as "my plan" but this is the best I could come up with. Although I have tried things like this in the past I give up very easy. I hope putting this out in the public will help me stay on track.
I'll try to keep this posted and hope that others will put up there 10 things also.
