...that said, I didn't think I would make it through July. As my kids went off to 2 weeks of camp I promised them mom wouldn't drink. As the bus pulled away I remember thinking to myself, how will I do that? They were coming back July 30th. I thought if I can just make it through July, hence soberjuly.
I'm still working on it, the periods I used to drink, but now I am looking at Sept and I no longer feel it is impossible to live alcohol free.
