The date is December 1st 2009
I am sober. Since August 1st I have not smoked weed once, not even a puff, taken acid only once, I have not done any other illegal drugs, and have cut back my drinking to only about once a month now if I have a designated driver and I only drink two or three beers. I feel a lot better, but I feel like I have some long term effects that I am trying to overcome. I became a little more shy. I used to be very outgoing and never really nervous in situations, but now I find myself getting worked up in some minor situations. I also still have occasional urges to go back to using drugs. I feel much happier I have noticed and I look at the world a lot different now. I feel like before I was looking at the world like through a pair of goggles. Now I look at everything a lot different. Luckily I haven’t fried my brain. I’m still pretty sharp. My drug use changed me a little though in what I think is a good way. It changed a lot of my attitudes towards life. All attitudes that I think are essential for living a good life. My life is a little more boring right now because I’m still adjusting, but I have a lot of plans for the future, something I never had when I was using. I have been working a lot to fill up the spare time in my life and I picked up some hobbies. For once I’m happy about the future.
