What was different that time you become sober for good?

I tried to quit many times, never made it past 10 days. I had a hell of a time because I was doing it to please other people which led to being even more secretive about my drinking. I didn’t really want it. I did not care for my own well being anymore and was very self destructive. Then one day last summer I was drunk as shit and I put the lives of my son and my dog in danger. That was completely unacceptable to me and that was the last day I’ve had any alcohol. Two days later I was in rehab starting my sober life for real. I’m still young in my recovery but I am determined to stay sober more than I have ever wanted anything in my life. So here I am, 267 days no booze and I feel that life still sucks but there has been much improvement. Everyday gets better than the last. One day at a time.
