Read more: Sober Inspiration From a Hard Partying ManiacSober? High on LIFE? Me? How did this happen? When I was a kid, I romanticized rock and roll, (still do actually). I had heroes that I idolized and I either wanted to meet them, or I wanted to be them. These guys were hard partying maniacs and I loved them. As I grew older,…

My Uber Alcohol Free 2020 Project Report – 100 Days Sober !
Read more: My Uber Alcohol Free 2020 Project Report – 100 Days Sober !I’m reflecting back from 100 days sober on what alcohol gave me. Alcohol gave me guilt for missing a sunny day completely, or having to call into work hungover. Drinking was absolute masochism for me. Good riddance alcohol ! Every week since that utterly terrifying, deer-caught-in-the-headlights moment when I heard the rare, unexpectedly calm, and…

Although I did have one day off, I’m not taking a hiatus; I’m still firmly on the alcohol-free wagon. When I…

How to Stop Drinking and Stay Sober by Telling Your Story
Read more: How to Stop Drinking and Stay Sober by Telling Your StoryFour years ago I started this Boozemusings Community as a celebration. I had learned that sharing my story in a private online community, and reading the stories of other people like me, was the key to my stopping drinking. I was 50 years old, computer illiterate, and had never been a writer, but writing, reading,…

Is Sobriety a Drag or is it the Ultimate Freedom?
Read more: Is Sobriety a Drag or is it the Ultimate Freedom?What does it mean to be trapped by addiction? Near the end of my long and illustrious drinking career I found myself desperate to stop drinking, but terrified that if I did stop, I would spend the rest of my life imprisoned by sobriety. Sobriety sounded so heavy and confining to me, like dragging around…

Letting go of Denial – Stop Drinking and Stay Sober on Your Terms
Read more: Letting go of Denial – Stop Drinking and Stay Sober on Your TermsDenial When I stopped drinking, one of the biggest challenges I had to overcome to stay sober, was breaking down the wall of denial I had built to defend my behavior.

“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!!!!!!!”
