Putting it in writing so it's out there

Today I shall NOT drink!

Have said it to myself several times before, but always failed. Telling someone (even strangers online) puts extra pressure on me to keep my word 🤷‍♀️

Try changing your profile pic to fit your goal. It’s not a big thing but it’s possible it might have psychic benefits for you and your adherence to your plan. Good luck. I want you to be successful 🤞🙏 you’ve identified the problem and you seem motivated. Those are two big things that you need to achieve your goals.
I’m getting strong deja vu like I’ve done this exact same response to a post but I can’t remember who when or how but I feel it strongly. Sorry random me. Lol.

@2cool4school I literally had to check my profile pic cause I forgot what it was 😅
I quit drinking all together once before,and stayed sober for 9 years, then I started again exactly one year ago

@BarbossasHusband I hope you can do that again. If you want to. I have gone 5 and 7 years without separated by about 5 years of mostly social drinking. I just don’t enjoy it anymore. I started young (17 fake ID) I used to be involved in industries where partying was just part of the job too and I think it’s what burned me out the most. I don’t feel like I have to put much effort into not drinking. I hope you have success too.
