The Beginning Of A Journey

Well, Well, Well. You really did it this time Jordan. Now that the cat is out of the bag and your roommate found you unresponsive in a bath towel with 3 bottles of liquor (empty) and one in your hand; it's time for help.

My Name is Jordan Miller, and well. I'm an alcoholic. I have admitted this for the past two years to anyone who would listen. But unfortunately for me, I am the happy go lucky "joke" guy.

I have decided to recover. I am not the most religious person, although I am a confirmed catholic. 12 step program just wasn't for me. So. What am I to do, and what will these blog's be about.

I will be posting a new blog every day about my steps to recovery. I will mention the good, bad, horrific, and embarrassing moments of my recovery and some of the mistakes I made and what led me to this point.

For today, this is all you're going to get. I am a 26 year old Technology Sales rep that has been at the same company for 4+ years now. I picked a "start up" and commuted from school 2 1/2 each way while being a d1 athlete and working 2 jobs. Luckily (or not) I got the job and have been successful. I live in the city, and understand how fortunate I am.... But this "great job" was not enough to stray me away from my families history of alcoholism.

What I ask is this. Please enjoy the read. I will be posting new blog's every day between 8-10 pm at night. Feel free to comment with suggestions, or just to tell me that I'm a dramatic, pathetic, washed up person. Dealer's choice!

I know I can get sober, regain my life. This high functioning alcoholic hit rock bottom. It's time to get better.

    Best of luck mate, I'm about to quit again after a relapse and know how difficult it is. I went over a year sober then had the occasional one or two - stupidly which led me back to the old ways and company. Keep well and don't forget to get medical help if you need it as it can be dangerous quitting.

My Alcoholism & the Impact on Dating

Another day of sobriety down. Watched basketball with all my friends. I have been having a really hard time being by myself. That's when the mind starts to wander and the will to drink is great. I have been telling my non close friends that I am doing this "for lent." It has been easier for me then explaining to my friends who drink all the time that I am an alcoholic. (Obviously my inner circle knows) They have been accepting of this line. Last night around 12 am I received a text from a girl I had been texting for a month. We hit it off after my Christmas party last December. Ended up drinking heavily till 4 am and had a blast. When I am in a good mood I was a fun drunk, the life of the party. That is what she knew me as. She unfortunately got caught up in my web of hitting rock bottom. It was a moment that really made me feel terrible about myself. I deserved this though. Last Saturday her a  I apparently talked on the phone for an hour (I checked it's true)

The City that Never (doesn't) Drink

Day 10. Wow. I made it. Thank you everyone for your continues support. I hope that by me admitting the issues I had with alcoholism and how it is NOT a copping mechanism, just one person will be helped. Today is Friday, prime Happy Hour Time in New York City. The city has been, well, let just say if I was in North Carolina life would be completely different. The City is a BEAST. It will swallow you alive if you let it. What goes hand in hand with the city, the answer isn't Broadway, it's Booze. Being in Sales doesn't make it any easier either. Monday- If it's football season- "Let's go to the bar! Watch the game!" Tuesday- "Man rough start to the week, grab a drink?" Wednesday- A usual off night for most city dwellers, but a great date night. "Want to grab drinks tonight and get to know each other?" Thursday- "It's basically Friday- Let's get hammered!" Friday- "What a week- couple of us are going to the b
