Losing out on opportunities...

I’m at a work conference and met some really cool people who talked about interviewing me for a job. Except I continued to drink and ended up practically falling asleep at the bar. I’m over potentially missing out on opportunities because of alcohol. Seriously, I’m done. I’m done not being able to get into the club to dance because I’m trashed. I’m done missing out on interesting conversations because I’m slurring. I’m done feeling fine feeling fine until all the sudden I’m not and I’m helpless. I was sober for 3 months last year and honestly... it wasn’t bad. It felt GOOD to sleep through the night. It felt GOOD to know I was in control. Why did I give that up? Because I feel out of place when everyone is drinking and I don’t have a drink in my hand? Because I’m in situations where alcohol makes it more fun. Spoiler: alcohol isn’t the answer, not being in those situations is. I don’t know what my chances are for that job anymore, but that’s going to be my last opportunity I miss because of alcohol. I’ve been lurking for a while, but I’m ready to commit. I am 25 and there is so much in life to look forward to. Drinking shouldn’t be one of them.
