Let’s get there together 
Someone made a point of breaking the bad routine, drinking, and getting into new one. I’m off in the summers and would wake up and day drink, fall asleep for three, hours, wake up and not drink the rest of the day. When I am working, I drank on the way home even if I didn’t want to. I;ve binged like this and stopped multiple times over the years as I am in my 60’s now.
I stopped August 2nd. I was sick of it, myself, and how I looked.
My new reward is getting a Big Gulp after work instead of booze, walking the dog, eating right and doing things around the house I put off. It;s a great feeling when you exercise and your body and muscles are sore. It makes you feel alive. Also feeling energetic, happy, and alive is not worth giving up. Going on 23 days and hope I can continue to fight through the urges to drink,

I turn 40 in December and decided I want to make my 40’s the best version of myself yet. Which can’t be done with alcohol for me.
Even in my two months of sobriety I’ve already awoken to so much I’ve been doing wrong for the past 10 years or so.
I won’t dwell on those mistakes, I’ll learn from them.
I think sobriety is one of the best things you can gift yourself! 
And I’m truly excited for you.
