Maybe stop making 14 days the magical number. Make it "today I am sober. Just for today." And repeat that every morning when you get up. When you go to bed, say a thank you that you are sober today.

I never fell during wild nights out but I sure fell a lot at home in the end. Down the stairs, over chairs and tables. Banged my head a few times on cabinets I forgot to close. Lots of ugly bruises. I'm lucky I didn't break anything or need stitches. They couldn't stitch the finger tip I sliced into, mincing while intoxicated. And it was only getting worse. You can do this if you truly want to. Hang in there.
