Hey dude. Much support here.
So when I was spinning out of control and still in full denial that I was (am) an alcoholic, I stayed sober twice - both times for about 60 days. I thought that by doing so I would be able to control my drinking afterwards. WRONG. I just drank more.
It wasn't until I created a plan that it stuck this time (9 months). The only difference now (like LBrain pointed out earlier) my number 1 priority was (is) Don't drink today (repeat tomorrow). And then you'll think of all the things you can do and change to make that happen.
If I can do it, so can you.
