Maybe man, but for now you're good. I believe we all have the potential to make it if we want it enough. At least you're on the path you want to walk, which is worth a goddamn pat on the back any day.

IMO the most important thing is to take it one day at a time. And don't blame yourself more than you have to for shit you maybe do wrong now or in the future. The worst thing you can think is fuck it, I had a drink today even though I said I wouldn't, so I might as well have another because it's fucked anyway. If you want to quit and you slip up, you tell yourself it's bad you slipped up, but stopping isn't a one-time decision, it's something you do constantly. One misstep isn't the end, because the next decision is just as important.

This is part of the reason I fucking hate the phrase "the first step is always the hardest part." Fuck that, the first step isn't hard at all. You can make the first step every week and it won't mean anything. The hardest part is that you have to keep making the right step again and again and again. And maybe it'll get easier and easier over time, but you have to keep making steps nonetheless.

I think the most important part is that you made a decision and you're making the steps you need to make. That's admirable in its own right. As long as you keep doing that, you're on the right path and you'll make it, even if the road isn't always as straight as you want it to be.
