Here i go for my final time
Well April 2013 was the start of this journey and i made what i thought was a terrific start at my first attempt at sobriety. I lasted 7 months before i relapsed after battling a long spell of depression. No excuses really as i should have looked for another solution rather than the bottle but i guess old habits die hard.
After that i was weak on a couple of occasions over Christmas and that leads me back to where i am today.
I am now back on day 10 and really looking forward to the challenge that lays ahead of me in 2014 and beyond. I feel i have learnt so much in the past year of how my body and mind reacts without alcohol. I actually love and crave being sober. I like the clarity of my thought pattern and the extra constructive time that seems to appear from nowhere when i am sober.
I am more than aware than ever of where i have gone wrong in the past when i have relapsed and i have plans in place to avoid weakening in these situations when they arise.
No more false starts! Here i go for my final time

This journey is very personal and very different for each and everyone of us. And the reality is that it is not easy that is for sure and we don't learn anything unless we make a few mistakes along the way. Believe me I have made lots of mistakes.
As long as a person keeps trying and is growing that is really the important thing.
And congrats on day 10 and remember that you do have 7 months of sober time that no one can take away from you.
