Hi!

I have relapsed a lot, and now I have six months and here is what I think has kept me sober: sitting down and journaling and really thinking about what alcohol has done to my life EACH time I drank it. Did it ever HELP me? A big fat NO. Each time I drank, it set in motion a vicious cycle of more drinking to try to feel better, and it never worked.

So, I stopped. And I will use the corny phrase "one day at a time" because it actually works. Don't think beyond today. Just don't drink today. Make it through one day. You can do it. Stick around.
