I'm feeling hopefully I can continue this through August, but I accept there's a chance I'll fail because I've had thousands of day 1's.
This may fit your brain nicely, but maybe that needs to change.
Not because of any 'SR think' or dogma - but because thinking this way - 'I may fail, I may only get through August' - is leaving the door open a crack to more drinking .

i had 15 years of weekly or more than weekly day ones. Now I've been sober since 2007.
One of the reasons for that is that I accepted I can have the life I want, or I can drink - but not both.

I had to choose - and I chose to take drinking off the table as a choice for good.

The fact I'd failed so many times before had no bearing on this time, because I really REALLY wanted to change - and in changing I made better decisions, and I became better for it.

I cannot think of any situation feeling or reason that would make me decide to drink now.
There is no good reason why you cannot get there too

Shut the door on further drinking - for good, ALBA..
