SOBRIETY – My Bumpy Ride on the Wagon

Today marks 9 months sober. It’s not been all smooth sailing.. i’ve been on and off the wagon for years, but i really feel like i am beating alcohol for good this time. forgive me for the duration of this video.. It is really long.. but it says all i wanted to say.. and includes some flash-backs to some of my old vlogs too. Here is the letter i wrote to alcohol: “Dear Alcohol, It is time i leave you once and for all. You have been such a strong influence in my life for far too long, and i have not had the strength to say no to you. When we were separated in 2007, I grew and blossomed like a flower. It was a great time for me. Everything in my life improved. You came back 18 months later and wanted to get together socially and i foolishly agreed. In the following few months, you worked your way back into my life full time and undid all the good i had done for myself in your absence. Why did i allow that to happen? Why did i let you back in? I KNOW you are bad for me, and i know you are not trying to help me.. so whats wrong with me? Im addicted to you.. for some reason. But guess what.. Ive found that strength again to divorce you. Ive got that drive in me to slam the door on you and become the flower i was before. You are very good at disguising yourself as fun, as something i want or need.. and you can stalk me, you can try to sneak back up on me. But ive fallen for it too many times.. I am stronger than you, and i WILL beat you. Goodbye.” Peace & LOVE ~TJ. Twitter.com …
