Today is significant
Two years ago I REALLY recognized I needed to stop drinking. I could not get more than 2 days sober. Life without alcohol just didn't seem like much fun. I spent the next year as a conscious drinker. Last year, September 17, I put the drink down. 2 weeks later I relapsed....hard. Instead of wallowing around in self pity, I picked myself back up and carried on with sobriety. I will have one year on September 28. My mistake on my first solid attempt was this statement "I will never drink again!!" Hours after making that statement I drank again. So remembering the "one day at a time" rule, I have had my longest run of sobriety. Today, I will not drink. Just for today.
