Smile Starting the new year early

Hi everyone. I made it to 51 days sober in November, and then started in again and have been drinking on and off since then. Rather than waiting for the new year, I thought I'd start now. One day sober. I thought I'd celebrate this with you all, rather than celebrating alone.

You can have reasons, or you can have results, but you can't have both.

That's outstanding. Keep the ball rolling.

Like you, I was on and off this year, the beginnings of my serious fight to quit. The first day was always the hardest. After just a few days, I looked and felt better. After about 10 days, I was practically a new person.

Keep going, and you'll be feeling better and better very soon.

If you get sober now, you won't wake up feeling horrible on new year's day.
