I was sober for 208 days in late 2016 and then drank almost every day of January 2017. Not really the way to start off the new year. In fact it was a horror show, and I knew I needed to straighten up and fly right. I'd say on at least half the days of that month, I'd wake up in the morning saying "Enough of this bs, I'm killing myself and I don't want to die. I'm not drinking today." And I failed a lot, often even before noon, haha! But I knew from my previous streak that I was capable of getting sober and living that way, so I kept at it and it finally took. Got some traction on January 30 and didn't drink that day. Kept posting on SR, kept examining myself, kept filling my life with positive things. And the rest is history!
