Today was Day 3 of my six months of sobriety. I was putting it off and putting it off because being a “good boy” gets kind of boring sometimes. I know it’s necessary sometimes and I know it’s good for me and I know I get a lot done and save money and a bunch of other good stuff happens but I’m so used to being me it makes it a little hard to start. The plan is to be as good as I can and then have a huge celebration on my birthday. Only problem is my birthday falls on a Monday. I have some pretty good party friends but none of them are down to do it BIG on a Monday so I planned everything for the following Friday. I’ve done this type of thing many times before so I’m pretty used to it all and it’s about this time (3 day mark) that I start to reflect on all the things that have happened since my last bout with sobriety. See some people think I’m a bit TOO MUCH fun when I’m being me but those people are lame and what a lot of these people forget is I’m from Arizona and spent four years of my life living in Las Vegas so for me having a good time is second nature. I know AZ and LV aren’t the only two places in the country/world like this. I’ve traveled quite a bit and partied in a lot of states (as well as Australia and Mexico) as a matter of fact WITH a lot of YOU The only thing I don’t like about my “breaks” is that a lot of people act like I’m not being fun because I’m not drinking. While, yes, I may be a bit more loud and obnoxious when I’m drinking the fact that I’m sober and a bit more reserved doesn’t mean I’m not having a good time and DEFINITELY doesn’t mean I’m judging what the people around me do. The truth is I’m usually having a good time when I’m out, even sober, I just don’t express myself in the same way. I don’t even know why people let these things bother them at all. As hard as it may be to believe I usually only get drink once a week even when I’m “on”. Some weeks I don’t get to at all. My life is pretty busy and has been for at least the last four years now and I don’t drink and drive not only because you SHOULDN’T but because LA doesn’t let  you leave your car anywhere and Phoenix is so big/laws are so tough there you’re practically asking for a DUI if you drink even a little bit and drive so I just don’t really get to do it like that. Anyway, my point is, life is good and I’m happy with the decision I made. If you really consider yourself to be my friend or even just like what I do then support me on this one, congratulate me on my progress every once in a while and CELEBRATE with me when it’s all said and done. Hope you all have a better than lovely Friday and Goodnight <3
