You definitely can - look at whatever it was bought you undone this time and plan for that this time
It might be more changes or more support, or simply more use of the support you have?

The longest I had Before this quit was 53 days and now I have 8 months. This can certainly be done as long as you have a plan and stay active in your sobriety every day. You can do it!

If you can get yourself to one year without any alcohol, I think you will feel so good you'll wonder why you waited so long.

That first year is a little bit of a challenge, but after that it's pretty easy and I felt so good there was no way I'd go back to that misery of drinking.

Yes, you definitely can do it, OldSkate. Try to come up with a plan that will help you to stay sober.

Great job. If I can't walk, I will crawl.

Suffering and time.

I have become stronger in all my weak places.

I hate booze. It is poison. I will never believe the hype. It is a highly addictive neuro toxin that alters my bodies ability to manage itself normally.

Learned behavior that has been unlearned.

Thanks for the therapy.

Longer? What - like 33 days? Why not just go for broke and stop drinking altogether - for good?

You can do it. Not drinking has to become part of your mentality. Like - not killing people. It's just not something you do.

Right?

Hope is something people generally have when events are out of their hands.
This is not out of your hands, it's not about how many days you have not drank for. I agree with Lumen it's about changing your mentality towards alcohol.
I was going to say "good luck" but that would kind of defeat the point of my post haha
