14 years

14 years ago today was my first full day of not drinking, and started telling myself I'm not going to drink today, and that's the first thing I've told myself every morning since then, including this morning. I've never been concerned about tomorrow, christmas, next week, or any other time. Just today. My friends and family think it's been about 15 years cause I lied for a year.
