Welcome!! I am on day 9. I’ve gone without drinking for extended periods before but always started up again. This time around I decided to engage in the forum and it’s really helping me stay more committed to sobriety. A good reminder and why I want to be sober in the first place! I hope you find the community helpful as well on your journey.

Just finished Day 1 and I’m a couple of hours into Day 2 - but this is not my first attempt! I forgot how helpful and supportive this forum is. Let’s stick around and share our journeys and celebrate our milestones together - sound good?

@Roundkick there are many reasons but i guess the most important one is that I dont like the persone i become when I drink.

Thanks @PinkyP I have been drinking for over 9 years and is about time to start a life free of alcohol abuse. 
There must be some specific personal goals / raised standards you can establish for yourself that would give you the motivation you are looking for. I feel very similar that I don’t like who I become on binge drinking. I listened to a Tony Robbins video on YouTube about raising standards to create the life you want, etc. It really spoke to me. Once I decided what standards I felt were appropriate for my life, it was clear that alcohol could play no role in succeeding to meet my standards. It has had a pretty significant snow-ball effect. This is me-centered so if I failed to hold myself accountable for meeting my standards, I had no one to blame but myself.

Totally get this, thanks. I have told myself that I will not go to work again feeling like I have done on many occasions.
