backbeat

This morning I woke up sober again and I've now done it for 11 days in a row. I'm so happy, I feel so much better, and I have hope and am proud of myself for the first time in a long time.

I know that this is still new and I'll hit rough spots. But so far I'm much more peaceful and not hating myself like I had been. It's still definitely a conscious decision not to drink, and I've struggled with this choice a few times already, but the payoff has been waking up not hating myself and feeling like I wanted to die.

Not sure what's making this time different than the false starts I've had in the past but I do know having this board has made a huge difference. Thanks once again.
