Hello SW. I am starting this thread in case anyone is going through something similar and is ready to sober up with me.
I've been drinking heavily since I graduated high school in 2006. All through 6 years of university and especially in the last year of my life since I moved to Vegas to strip. I don't know if I'm an alcoholic per se since I don't crave alcohol on my days off, but at work I crave it SO badly to the point that I feel I cannot work without it. I can easily drink 10+ drinks during a shift at work without getting too drunk so I know I have at least a psychological addiction for sure. I start out my shift with at least 3 or 4 drinks and then drink all night with customers and especially in VIP. I work 3-4 days a week so basically I have been drinking WAY too much and it's affecting my life very negatively. I also do drugs occasionally (once/twice a month) and smoke cigarettes when I'm drunk and I'd like to stop doing these things too.
I never do the things I used to love because I'm always so hungover. I never go rock climbing anymore or go to the gym since I always feel so crappy, and I struggle to work 3/4 days a week when I should be working 5. I also usually ALWAYS have 6 pack abs, but lately I've been all bloated and squishy feeling and am suddenly covered with cellulite....surely gaining weight from all the booze. I'm a model as well as a dancer so this is NOT ok lol. I'm ready to take my life back!
Today will be the first day I work sober in over a year. I'm going in early at 4pm because I'm hoping that there will be less of a party crowd there earlier. No matter how badly I want to drink today, I won't. Taking it day by day.
I'll also be checking out some Narcotics Anonymous meetings, starting tomorrow. I will update this thread as often as I can to hold myself accountable. Please feel free to share your stories with me if you've gone through something similar!
Also....if any Vegas ladies work sober at either Sapphire or Rhino, please say hiI'd love to have some sober friends in an industry where it feels like EVERYONE drinks lol.

I have no intentions of being a bad person but alcohol made me so stupid that I thought it was ok...I definitely felt invincible. I am so lucky I never crashed! If I ever hurt someone from drinking and driving I would not be able to live with myself. Now I just have to worry about dodging all the other drunk drivers here in Vegas. >.<
