Hey Kels nice to see you still fighting the good fight and checking in.  
It’s nice to find a good mantra that fits.

Mine is “I’m not drinking today! And I’m probably not drinking tomorrow.” It’s been working for me.

I came across this today on an old thread. I thought I’d share it with you. Just what you need right? More reading 😝  
Anyway. Check it out if you like. Or maybe just book mark it for later. It’s got some great shares in it.

> Sobriety and recovery is a process of walking away from the old days of drinking/using that don’t work anymore. It’s embracing uncomfortable change for the better and deciding to not stay where you were. It’s learning to love yourself enough to say “I can’t live like this anymore and I need help”. Please add here the advice that you would like to gives to others. What tips and tricks has worked for your sobriety? What can someone newly sober expect on this journey?

Take care.  
🙏🏻❤🌹
