My Beautiful Mind at 1000 days Sober
Read more: My Beautiful Mind at 1000 days SoberI can’t remember ever aspiring to be sober. The word sober always seemed sad, dull, and heavy to me.

Nobody Drinks Like We Do For Fun
Read more: Nobody Drinks Like We Do For FunNobody who drinks like me is drinking for the fun of it or because it’s such a great time! We drink because we’re in pain or lost or bored.

“It was a random day of internet searching that brought me to Boozemusings Blog and to Boom Community, and my life has been changed by it. I needed some kind of “epiphany” for a mind change, and I have learned things about alcohol and its physical effects that have given me that kind of enlightenment. I check in several times a day and it is like meeting with my family. The resources here are incredible, and inexhaustible. I have quit lit books, etc. Will check out some of the other resources in others’ responses, but for me, Boom has been the answer. I feel it has to do with the tireless work of Boom’s creators. Thank you, Boom!!!!!!!”
