Day 1 again

Today is day 1 again. It's about 930 p.m.so i think im gonna make it. Original day 1 was Christmas but then the 26th and 27th happened. Didn't drink a lot, but didn't keep my promise to myself. Actually my original day 1 was July 2023 when I somehow quit for 30 days after 25 years of daily drinking. It's been what seems like a hundred day 1s since then. Trying something new I saw on here. Writing myself a note in the morning, a promise to myself ' I Will Not Drink Today'. I write the promise on a piece of paper, then fold it and keep it in my pocket and when I feel the urge, I put my hand in my pocket and feel the paper with the promise i made to myself on it. At around 9, once the liquor stores here are all closed and I know I've made it, I take the paper and a ten dollar bill(about my average daily liquor cost for the past 25 years), and put them both in a small basket. If I can stick to it, my plan is to have $3650 in that basket this time next year. Seemed to help today to keep that front of mind. If this works, I owe whoever put that out here on this subreddit anything but a beer. Lol. Wish me luck. Tomorrow is day 2.
