Happy 32 to me (and anyone else!) Missed my 30 :)
I just added up my stickers on my bright and shiny January dayplanner page, and I totally missed celebrating my 30!
I was so stoked on Dry January that I jumped the gun and started on Dec 26-- and, so glad I did!
Really, to those just getting started or getting moving or, like me, back on the dry train after some months on the wet train (and times on the dry train before that), let me just tell you-- inertia is a hell of a thing!
My strong advice is to just scrape together a string of days-- whatever it takes. Even if the timing feels unperfect or you don't think you're "doing sobriety right," or you're isolating in the house with your cats, Netflix, and pint of Ben and Jerry's. Just get the days, and the days will propel themselves, and the whole thing really does take on an energy of itself.
Get the ship moving in the right direction-- and, f\*ck whatever day it is on the calendar. All days are as good as the next. (Favorite quote: "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.")
