Hello, my nickname is soberup, and I am an alcoholic. I am slightly over 30 years old and came from Central Europe. I work as a freelance specialist in online marketing and analytics. I enjoy new technologies, Apps, tools, cryptocurrencies, weed, and, of course, beer the most. And it got worse during COVID-19.
In 2020, I found a tip that if I write a diary, maybe it will help me reduce my alcohol consumption, reflect my thoughts and start pooping rainbows.
So I started bullet journaling in the Notion app and later in the Obsidian app. The problem was - I frequently forgot to journal, or I was too lazy, drunk, or high to do it.
One fine day, I thought: I should write an online blog or website about my relationship with alcohol and combine it with an authentic anonymous diary.
I postponed this idea many times. The reason for that was simple: Every time it came, I was either shitfaced or in bed with a terrible hangover. And every time I thought to myself: "I will never drink alcohol again!" And later that day or the day after I went to the pub again.
So: I was putting this text together for a few weeks, a substantial part of that time drunk.
But here we are! I am trying to get clean. I will dedicate the "soberup" account mainly to this almost full-time hobby and hopefully get rid of it.
I kept wondering if anyone would read it and why someone should be interested. But the very process of writing this text has led me to think about a problem that I did not know I had until recently. So I'll keep doing it.
What will I write?
I started writing random thoughts, work procedures, knowledgebases, and more to Obsidian, and I started bullet-journaling too. I will publish part of these notes on the hive.blog.
You can look forward to:
- broad coverage of alcoholism
- My favorite apps
- A lifehack here and there
Keep in mind that I primarily write these notes for myself. They can have a context in them that you will not understand from time to time. (Although I will try to edit each article and make it understandable to strangers.)
What do I want to achieve by writing this blog?
A little more about my goals and motivation to stay sober
Goals + Why
- Completely quit drinking alcohol
- better health
- more time for my girlfriend
- more time for other hobbies
- more time for other non-drinking friends
- less stress
- Write at least 60 articles in the upcoming year about alcohol, alcoholism, or as they say now: "Alcohol use disorder."
- Stay sober
- No alcohol at all
- weed is O.K.
- coffee is O.K.
- Other hard drugs are not O.K.
- Change the current direction of my career (RN it is: Money money money for beers beers beers) and do something that makes sense
Quick FAQ about me
Why did I choose hive.blog?
I am a cryptocurrency enthusiast, and I got to the hive through the Splinterlands, where I play under a different account. I like its anonymity and simplicity in setting up the publication. I could make a WordPress blog, but I don't want to mess with anonymization, updates, viruses, and more.
Why did I choose anonymity?
I'm afraid that some people around me (especially in my professional environment) might not take information written here well. I am an anonymous alcoholic. (Not affiliated with Alcoholics Anonymous.)
Why so many mistakes?
I am not a native speaker and I am frequently drunk. I hope that the blog will help me to improve my English, among other things. If you see an error, please report it! Grammar nazi welcome.
Where do you live?
I wondered whether to specify it, but I believe that you will figure it out yourself, and I will mention it in one of the future texts. For now, I will give you only three hints: Beer, weed, porn.
Thanks for reading!
If you've read this far, thank you so much for your time! I want to write at least one article a week, if nothing comes out soon, don't be afraid to push me!
