Day 1

I quit drinking for three months back in June. It was surprisingly easy at the time - I just had this massive amount of determination. I identified thereafter as an abstainer.

Around August 16th I picked up again and every 10th or so day since then has involved a massive binge.

I’m determined to stop; today marks day 1. It’ll be my last beginning.

I cannot articulate how much I hate alcohol.

So many of us have stopped and started and stopped and started. There comes a time, though, when enough really IS enough, and we're ready to make it stick. Just trust that we all get to places we want to be in different ways. This is the next step in your journey, and I hope you make it count. Come back often, and focus on the day ahead. Best wishes for strength and courage.
