5,640 days

5,640 days is a long time to go without a drink.  Especially since I would struggle to go even 5 days without one.  5,641 days ago my life was a complete disaster!   A dismal collection of drunkenness, fear, deceit and indecent thoughts, words and actions.  So dismal that I nearly ended it all.  So one moment, of one day, I threw my hands up in the air and shouted out to anyone or anything!!!  Little did I realize I was praying.  Praying for the first time in years.  1 day, 1 prayer has completely removed the desire to drink for the last 5,640 days.  But then again, who's counting?
