I had 25 days clean & sober but on Dec 15 I started drinking again (intermittently). Did the whole, “maybe I can have just one or two and go home” thing. NO, I can’t! Said goodbye to alcohol again on NYE. Feeling strong of mind, body, and spirit as I head into Day 3.
I will not drink alcohol today!

Great approach. Alcohol is poison.
Flammable and corrosive.
I remind myself all the time.
Also alcohol... The great remover. Alcohol will remove stains from clothing. This is quite correct and just to prove its amazing versatility it will also remove the winter clothes, spring clothes and summer clothes from man, his wife and children if used in sufficient quantity. Alcohol will also remove furniture from the home, rugs from the floor, food from the table, lining from the stomach, vision from the eyes and judgment from the mind. Alcohol will also remove reputations, good jobs, good friends, happiness from the children’s hearts, sanity, freedom, man’s ability to adjust and live with his fellow man and even life itself. As a remover of things, alcohol has no equal.

I’m like you, there is no sense having just one or two drinks once in awhile. I totally have to eliminate it from my life, and now, I’m good with that!

Man I was able to watch a ballgame last night, stay up until almost midnight, and wake up feeling fresh at 5am to start today! That’s not how it goes with alcohol/drugs. I’d be on no sleep and hating myself right now…. I choose this life 10/10!
Thanking God for helping me find this path I’m finally on. Amen
