16 days and counting

Today is a new day. I will not let my past interfere with my goal of happiness. I'd like to make plans for the future and for the first time in a long time, I actually feel like its possible to achieve something. I can go somewhere. Anywhere. I spent so much time hoping for a change and had no idea how to start, or even that it was MY responsibility to make it happen. Today I know that I'm heading in the right direction. I definitely get a feeling of empowerment when I say no to my urges. I have been a slave to my own mind and impulses my entire life. Saying no, not only to the alcohol but to my doubts and to my thoughts about giving up on life itself is such a new concept. end ramblings.
