Wanted to share how proud I am of my boyfriend, my whole world, my everything, my better half, and my best friend Justice. He has struggled so much in his life ever since he was young. We met in 2012 at school and we instantly became close ever since and then he became my biggest crush ever… and eventually we ended up together :) he has saved me from 2 traumatic events that had - almost happened to me even he had not been there in time . He is my hero… my everything… my world… Justices family has thrown him out, abused him, assaulted him, trashed him, his own father called the police on him and had him arrested and in jail for a whole entire year….I waited for him. Every single day of that. He was previously struggling with drug addiction/abuse and he was getting ahold of every drug he could… to get rid of his pain he had dealt with as a child. The picture you see of him on the left is him almost crying because he was paranoid and under the influence of drugs… and he was on probation at that time… he wasn’t using the best judgement… but he knew that. He knows he wasn’t being smart, he knows that and he has owned up to his past and his past mistakes. He is man enough to admit that and his wrongs which- that alone takes a real man to own up and correct those wrongs.
In the left picture he was almost all the way down to 87 lbs…..
The picture you see of him on the right is HIM NOW :) at 205 lbs, healthy as ever, smiling every day, laughing, and only wanting positivity in his life now. He doesn’t want anything to do with negativity ever again and he only wants positive, sobriety, and to show others he has changed, he has beat the odds, and he will continue to show that he is a survivor and he has changed for the better and will continue to be a role model and someone who others can say “wow he did that” about.
Just wanted to share a good post with tumblr.
Recovery is possible
-feel free to reblog this and share his story :) it would mean a lot to him and he knows the tumblr community can be a good place to share a change for positivity. It would mean a lot to him!

I hate being in active addiction
I do the same fucking bullshit everyday like literally and im always fucking in my room and isolated and fuck man or if I’m not alone im with my best friend smoking dope in the same house that my family lives in. I honestly thought that moving here and getting to start over would be my saving grace and before my house was even put together I was shooting up in the driveway and my justification is…

How Did I Get Here?... PT. 1
It's been a week since I got back from San Francisco and the week that changed everything. I suppose that there is no better time than the present to just get it out there...
I GOT A DUI.
I have known that I drink too much for a while now, but these last few months have really made it obvious. It all started with my sister and COVID. Due to my work life, before COVID I didn't have a home. My partner and I traveled constantly for work and found it pointless to pay rent when we could just camp or visit friends and family between jobs.
In March of 2020 we had just gotten back from Costa Rica and are usually home in Tahoe for about two weeks before we head out to the next gig, but as we all know, not this time. Lock down hit and S and I were held up at my parents house in Tahoe with a pretty damn white winter happening outside. Like a lot of us, sitting at home lead to movies, board games, puzzles and of course... day drinking. It's was only two weeks, pretty much a forced vacation. Nothing wrong with shots at 10am... right?
That was just the beginning. My sister and her BF came up from the Bay to quarantine at home with the family and the drinking continued. You see growing up my mom's vodka + sodas were 2/3 of a pint (with ice) of vodka and a splash of soda with lime. Our neighbor makes dangerously delicious margaritas with about the same ratios. To us, it was the point to taste the booze and feel the effects. Now, that being said I am a trained bartender and know that a 'proper pour' is, but we didn't even make our own drinks like that after our shift. So when it came time for the at home bartending, you already know that our drinks were the equivalent of 2-4.
We were drinking a bottle of tequila or vodka every 2-3 days and the sibling arguments and family strife began. To get out of the house S got a job at Safeway in town and I started delivering groceries with Instacart. When he wasn't working he would just ride with me. Grocery shopping while sipping cans of rosé, because why not? We weren't hurting anyone. The truth is... we were. We were hurting ourselves, but we will discuss that later.
So while E stayed home, her BF would go play in the snow and S and I would work; all converging at the end of the day back at my parents to start on the homemade margaritas and moscow mules. All at our own points of day drunk, the transition into night drinking with the entire family would commence. This quickly became a routine and then grew into our of control. S and I found ourselves looking for our own apartment due to a desperate need for personal space and mom and dad were rapidly becoming fed up with the drinking, arguments and state of their house with all of us in it.
....stay tuned for PT 2 where I get into how I convinced myself I was fine for too long and what my bottom looked like.
xx,
ASJ

Check In: Leaving Las Vegas (1996)
Check In: Leaving Las Vegas (1996)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113627/
The first time I watched this movie, I despised alcohol. I watched create so many problems, abuse, domestic violence, and now I'm watching it for a second time AFTER I have been an alcoholic. And let me tell you, I really love alcohol. ❤️ I didn't have to go outside to have a sip, or a glass, or a bottle. I didn't have to be social. Smoking I hated because it was social even if you were trying not to be social. Example rando asking for a cig. I'm watching this movie for the second time after being sober that I achieved all on my own. Not even any support from family or friends. All the withdrawals, physical, emotional, mental, etc, I battled all on my own. It's coming up to two years, I am curious as to what I will think about it now.

New lifestyle, who dis?
Hey! My name is Lauren. I'm 29 years old, living in Oklahoma, and am a concert photographer.
I have recently made the decision to end my relationship with alcohol. Today I am 6 weeks sober! I am so excited about this new path I'm taking in life, or really, in adulthood. I began drinking when I was 19, so I've been drinking a solid 10 years. And after a lot of mishaps, I decided to break up with my toxic ex, Alcohol.
This blog is for me. To help me process the last 10 years, and to help me continue to move forward. I also would like others to gain something from my writings because it's only 6 weeks in and I have been asked many questions about sobriety. It's wonderful, I don't mind talking about it.
I'm nervous to talk about all the other stuff. But I'm hoping I find empowerment in my past mistakes, and that others reading this blog will find solace in my experiences and that I might be a small help in motivating others to reevaluate their relationship with alcohol as well. After all, reading others' experiences with getting sober ultimately helped me get where I am today. So why not pay it forward?
Stay tuned, I'll be posting soon. But for now, it's the 4th of July and I have some grilled meat to eat and fireworks to pretend to enjoy, haha.
-Lauren

Just came to the realization I don't know my fiance when he is not actively an alcoholic lmao like who are you now that you have given up who are you without the alcohol dominating your brain are you now the same person I once knew? How can I forget that person anyways when they caused me so much pain? That same person is still you, wearing your skin around like a beast.

also! this is a little different than what i normally post but id just thought id share! I've decided that in the new year im going to be a sober queen! I'm not going to drink because i genually dont like the toll it makes on my mental health, its not worth it for me. Also the triplets have heavily inspired me to be sober because of how much fun they have being sober and they seem content with it, and i've never really enjoyed it.
Being in college, i see how it would be hard especially since all my friends drink, but i know the morning after i will be happy. Also them being in LA and them still being able to maintain their sobreity, it makes me feel like even though i live in a big city as well and am in college i can maintain that too.
I've been sober now since about thanksgiving and have been offered drinks throughout the holiday and have just not been intrested in drinking at all, so i thought why not make it a thing?
Just thought Id share because you guys are my family❤️
