November 28th
Ten days have passed since an alcoholic drink has touched my lips. Even though ten days seems like barely anything, I couldn't be more proud of myself. It takes serious will power to not drink, especially on those nights where everything hurts and I need to forget about you, but I did it. And for that, I'm proud of the strength I showed to not bow down to alcohol anymore. Or for that matter, bow down to you. You've had me wrapped around your finger, toying with me, and I'm finally able to say I got free.
I have to be proud of myself, otherwise no one will be and I don't want to think like that. I'm happy for me because you aren't here to congratulate me.
But you know what, Danielle? I didn't need you this time; maybe I'm not that same boy in college because I saved myself without your help. I did it all on my own, so congratulations, Chase, you little scoundrel, you!
