I have made the decision to cut alcohol out of my life. This is after ten years of mostly functioning alcoholsism. It is hard to realize that is how much time has passed.

I moved here to Bellingham ten years ago now, and not long after moving here fell in with a crowd of people who used heavy drinking as pretty much their sole source of entertainment. Having no friends, no community connections, and no aspirations at the time, it became my new normal. Working fast food and living with my parents wasn't helping me feel much fulfillment either. Leaving one bad romantic relationship, and falling into the next, my self-image was next-to-none.

Looking back and thinking about the girl I was then, she almost seems like a stranger. I have grown and changed so much since then. I was just past being a kid then, and now I have a kid of my own. I maintained my sobriety for a year during pregnancy and into breastfeeding, but fell right back into the old habits.

I have now gone full circle again, living with my parents. If it weren't for my son, I would have figured anything else out. Anything else. Not that I don't love them, but going on thirty I always dreamed and hoped so much more for myself.

The fog is lifting, and I am seeing more and more, that my dependence and addiction to alcohol has brought me here. So many bad decisions, so many unfortuante situations, so much money spent. I don't want my son to be guided by the same. I don't want him to remember his mom always having a drink in her hand. I want to be better for him, and give him a better life.

6 weeks sober! On Boxing Day last year I decided to give up drinking alcohol for good. It makes me feel like shit and half the time I get sick from it. I’m really proud of this decision and myself given Australia’s ingrained drinking culture. #dowhatmakesyouhappy #sober #soberlife #nomoredrinking #feelingbetter #staystrong #bestdecisionever #moretimeforme #focusonwhatyouwant https://www.instagram.com/p/B8FaFUahyaS/?igshid=10j1tqphnia9y

No More Drinks || Minsu & Jinki

Jinki’s efforts and advertising around the village seemed to be working because this was the busiest his bar has been on a Monday night for a long time. It made the shigofumi giddy to have so many people come in and enjoy his bar. Giving people joy and helping them release tension after a stressful day is something he thrived for. Like the good business owner he is, the shigofumi flitted around the bar all night, helping where he was needed whether behind it making drinks or in front of it serving the food and drinks to the customers. 

His mind was a buzz as he tried to focus on each and every task in front of him while also keeping an eye out for any potential fights or arguments that may occur on such wild nights. The shigofumi carried his empty tray back over to the bar. When he noticed the new customers by the bar and line of other people wanting drinks he hopped over the bar counter quickly getting into the groove of making drinks. It was going to be a long night. 

Once the line was down he focused on the customers that sat at the bar. Jinki noticed what could maybe a couple? By how close they sat next to each other or judging by the look on the blonde male’s face maybe the long brown haired male was hitting on him. Either way the shigofumi went over to where they sat with a smile on his lips. “Hello you two” His voice loud enough to be heard over the music playing in the bar. “Would you like any refills?” He questioned taking note of the mostly empty glasses in front of the two.

I have decided to do a challenge, hasn't been seen in a while but I think it might be a good idea: 42 days sobriety challenge!

Haven't told my family because if I fail, I would be all kinds of awkward and humiliated... so wish me luck and join in if you want or need it!!!
