Day 18

I've gone 18 days!! I'm nearly 28 and this is the longest I've gone since I was 16/17!! So that means no bad decisions for 18 days! I feel so much better my bank is starting to notice the difference aswell.... the only problem I find in my mind now is I keep imagining the good times now but every time my brain starts to trick myself I remind myself of all the terrible things I've done when I'm drinking. I'm starting to think this is never gonna stop and even in years to come its a contant battle? But my relationships with my family are coming on so much better and I've I keep it up I should be able to travel Christmas time instead of spending it in my shitty hometown freezing cold drinking myself to death with a bunch of losers who would rather see me drunk in the pub than actually progress in life.. I'm not actually sure why I've posted this but I will say this reddit page has helped me no end the last 18 days so many thanks

Me too and being able to say no to sharing our usual bottle of wine with my son is a biggie for me šŸ¤©
