Welcome! I tried and failed too many times to count but I didn't give up. And now I'm five years sober. You can do this, one day at a time.

I had painted myself into a corner. I decided that staying the same had to be worse than getting sober. To this day I stay sober for me and no one else. Of course I could get away with drinking. The problem is I wouldn't be fooling me

Thanks to everyone for the support.
I'm still sober. It's almost bedtime and I'm sober! The funny thing is that I can actually take off my makeup and moisturize properly tonight and do a normal bedtime routine for the first time in a really long time! I usually just pass out wherever I happen to be. I just now thought of this and it's pretty neat! (Ok so I'm hard up for things to be happy about right now...I'll take anything at this point).

I hear you. It's been nice to wake up without raccoon eyes!

That's a great thing to be thankful for
