I finally decided to get sober on NYE of 2015. I was at a party and drinking, and I knew I needed to stop and to make healthy and positive life style decisions. The clock struck midnight and I put down my champagne and made myself a New Year's Resolution. I kept it to myself for a bit because I had failed a few times in the past. I am getting close to 20 months sober, and every aspect of my life is better. There are still days that are emotional, and situations that are stressful, but I've learned much healthier ways to deal with them.
