I Drank Alcohol After 82 Days of Sobriety
Manab J Kalita

What’s different since my last attempt?
I was on my 83rd day of quitting alcohol on the 24th of March. It was a pretty decent day, to begin with, but by evening I felt like everything spiraled out of control. I am an ambivert, so on most days, I’m happy with my job as a content writer.

But on other days, I miss my short stint as a photographer when I went out with a few like-minded souls on photography retreats. It was such a day on the 24th. I was drained of any energy by evening so I went out to complete an article for a client. I went to a café near my home and worked on finishing the article in the café itself.

I returned home at around 6 in the evening, but by that time I was wanting a drink. I thought I would make an exception and drink just a couple of beers rather than my regular drink of whiskey.

I spent the next three days drinking each evening. I even attended a party with a few guys I am the most comfortable around. They in fact celebrated that I was back to having “fun.”

So much for the support and genuine friendship.

It is March 28, 2022, and I already have another day of sobriety under my belt.

What This Break From Alcohol Changed in My Thought Process
As mentioned in my previous posts, I have been trying to quit alcohol for the past couple of years. And each time, I am getting so much insight from the process.
It was only last year when such a hiatus would have led me down the rabbit hole. But not this time, this time I was mindful of my behavior in these three days, and I wanted out as soon as I had that first drink on the 24th.

I know that contradicts my own words having drunk for 3 days. But it's a process on its own. And I am still learning.

What’s Next for Me
I now have a plan and a goal in mind. I will do the next 100 days and then rethink and reassess my position. I will write down all the positives, negatives, and all things in between about my days sober, as well as drunk, if any at all.

I will take it from there. I was scared last year when I first decided to stop drinking, but this time that fear has receded. I am not scared of who I will be in the future, as I already got a glimpse of that person.
