Almost 3 Days :)
I won't lie I had a slip Saturday and while I considered throwing in the towel I decided no.. We aren't strong because we are perfect, we become strong by standing back up when we fall. Everyday will always be a struggle but that means everyday will be a new victory. While 2 days may not sound like much that is 48+ hours I've managed to put my trust in God and not my own temptation. It's 48+ hours that I've put my faith in God and allowed him to lead me, not alcohol. So while it may not seem like much to many, to me it's everything.

This time I won't put myself in the situation where alcohol is everywhere such as a club.. Yes that was terrible thinking on my part, but as alcoholics we don't always act rationally. I've forgotten how good it feels to lay down and wake up without the guilt of drinking, I've forgotten that no matter how wonderful I may think drinking will be, it always leaves me empty and broken. At 23 being sober isn't easy, but for an alcoholic staying sober at any age is hard. Tomorrow is one of my trigger days so I made a conscious choice to post today and get support so that I will have that tomorrow, whenever temptation knocks I can come here and read all my support system and know I can get through.
