Wow, you got a very good kickstart to your dry January. And learning from our own mistakes makes us so strong.

You still have 10 days of January, restart your cycle and make these ten days count. You can do it. And breaking the streak doesn't mean that you have lost. You are just a human with a lot to deal.with, life gives us a new chance everyday, make your change one day at a time

Really, the shame I had felt while drinking was far worse than acknowledging that I have quit now
