I'm 31. I Was previously hundredwaters on shaggy, posted about my alcohol addiction in 2016, was sober from April 2016 to October 2018, got sober on my own. I've been drinking everyday since my relapse in 10/2018. My biggest fear is I've never been someone who gets much out of life. When i'm high/drunk...I've won awards for photography, had amazing sex with beautiful women from confidence, just a very outgoing person who people warmed up to. When I'm sober I am safe, but just so fucking boring. I hate the thought of a normal life...working at the comptroller downtown 9-5 with 2 extra hours in traffic. Sometimes I think I'd rather blow my brains out than that. Drinking and drugs at least get me into interesting shit. And fuck a religious awakening where I admit powerless to a false God, I've never been religious and that shit pushed me away more than anything. I'm open to other options for sobriety, but do not want to be apart of 12 steps or anything like that. Again, not hating on anyone here who has found success through that, and there are amazing people here. It's not ever going to be me.
