Thank you all for the kind words, and right out of the gate. Officially on day 2. It's not my first time around the block either. In 2012 I had 6 months, but failed to let a St. Patty's Day slip by me From that point it was just a constant battle of self loathing and broken promises (to myself). I failed again with 30 days under my belt. This was just last month.....ON MY 40th BIRTHDAY!!! I went on a bender and thankfully landed comfortably on my feet this past Sunday night. I am really optimistic this time around, and I truly WANT to succeed. I want to wear my sobriety as a badge of honor, not a mark of shame. Glad to be involved in this community.

Hi InWriting,
Welcome! Yes, focus on not drinking today. You can already think about what you'll do differently tomorrow, though. I got sober ~ one month before my 40th birthday. A month after is just as good; it'll be a nice thing to remember this anniversary many years down the road
