Shit! I just found out I'd been at this exact point before, and I didn't even remember it when I posted about my "first" Friday yesterday.

This post was also from me, 1 year ago on a different account:

And also this one where I wondered how to navigate an upcoming work outing at a beer festival:

I went to that festival, and I drank. Just "one last exception", cause I didn't want to make my sobriety official in front of my colleagues yet.

And that was that. Another year down the drain.

Everyday is a new day and a new opportunity. Don't dwell on the past of beat yourself up, we are not perfect beings, that is what makes you human. Don't think in years or month or even weeks about this, lets just do today and when tomorrow comes we'll tackle that tomorrow. IWNDWYT friend.
