If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down. -Mary Pickford
So tomorrow is a week without a sip of alcohol. I didn't drink tonight, a Friday night, and I doubt I will drink tomorrow. I'm honestly so proud of myself for staying strong, I don't care if anyone wants to bring me down by talking about how a week isn't even that long.
A week might not be that long to you, but this has the longest week ever for me. Honestly, I'm a different person now. I've been making all good decisions and doing all the right things. I've been standing up for what I do and don't want to do. I haven't let the negativity of others bring me down at all.
I'm so fucking proud of myself for all this, and even if I don't get back everything I lost, I'll still be a happier person than I was before.
