If I have a problem, stuff's going through my head, I feel like using, I usually go and talk to my dad... I decided to get sober a lot younger than he did. He first tried to get sober when he was like 32, I believe.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've been sober now for a couple of years and I'm taking my sobriety very seriously - one day at a time and I am moving forward in my career.
I drank for about 25 years getting over the loss of my father and I took the anger out on myself. I did a good job at beating myself up at sometimes. I don't drink anymore but my alcoholic head occasionally says different. 'Nil By Mouth' was a love letter to my father because I needed to resolve some issues in order to be able to forgive him.
You get clarity as you get sober, and you get clarity as you get older.
I have been sober for the longest time. Oh, it's over a decade now. No joke.
I was an alcoholic, for sure. It became a problem steadily over the course of six years.
You know I love pot, and I love beer, but I am totally sober, just because it completely stopped working for me.
I don't really drink very much, although I have abused alcohol in the past.
I've been drinking and using since I was 13.
I wish I'd gotten sober at a younger age.
I began drinking alcohol at the age of thirteen and gave it up in my fifty sixth year; it was like going straight from puberty to a mid-life crisis.
