Day 1 - again. I was talking to my therapist yesterday and she said she didn’t think I had officially made a decision to stay sober and she was right. Over the last few years I would go on sober streaks but lied to myself that I could control it; I can’t. I end up taking that initial drink which turns into only drinking on weekends, then a few weekdays are thrown in, and before I know it, I have justified drinking every day. I am over it. I want better for my life. I want to find my purpose again. Today I am really re-committing and choosing sobriety.

I used to be the exact same way. I’ve never made it more than a week. I’m finally now on day 20. This time feels different.

Heard that! Been there, done that!
Being sober is hard but I FINALLY got tired of coming up with excuses for myself. My life is better sober and I (gently) remind myself on a daily (or hourly) basis. Whatever it takes for a happy, healthy, Jason

Read pages 30 and 417 in the Big Book
Surrender. Get out of denial. Ask for Help.
•Find a good home group of Alcoholics Anonymous that focus on the solution.
•Seek out a good sponsor
•Get a God of your understanding
•Begin thoroughly working the 12 steps with that sponsor.
•Read and or listen to the first 164 pages of the BB
•After competing all 12 steps…. Help another alcoholic.
Long term sobriety is available to each of us IF WE do the work.
Best wishes
