I’m Eric, completely new to this forum. I’m an alcoholic and addict. Not my first time fighting this battle of addiction. Today I have 90 days clean and sober. Trying to build a strong foundation and I am here to support others fighting the same fight.

Hello, my name is Dominique, and I’m a new member of Sober Time. I am always hesitant to share my DOC, because it’s something that is legal, and people often downplay its addicting effect. However I have used marijuana as a coping mechanism for childhood trauma and abuse for 14 years. I’ve tried quitting numerous of times, however, it only takes one hit to go back down the rabbit hole.
I finally admitted to myself, I had an addiction. I started my Sobriety yesterday, February 14th, and I am about to reach 2 days in the next 5 hours.
More than anything, I just want to be clear-headed; been walking around in haze for too long.

congrats on your 90 days and welcome. I love
This site. Supportive people and we’re here 24/7.
Welcome
@Dwalk
Dominique, I was a pot head forever. It was really hard to quit. And I remember people telling me it’s not an addictive substance. Bullshit!!! 
It may not be so physically addictive as maybe heroin. I wouldn’t know. But it IS an addiction and it was very difficult for me to stop. But I did. Because I had children and it was an illegal substance. And one stupid close call almost going to jail straighten me out.
And @Eric1393
Congratulations on your 90 days. 91 now. That’s great. I thought I saw another Eric around here.
And glad you’re here too @DeeDee83
Danielle, I think we’ve already had some interaction on a thread or 2.
This is a great place for support. I wouldn’t be sober a year now if it wasn’t for the support of all the wonderful people on here. Keep checking in. Post pics of nature. Cat pics. Read memes. Go to @littlemisschatterbox silly sober talk thread or whatever it’s called. Just don’t pick up that first drink or smoke or whatever. Instead of picking up post a silly sober leg selfie. Do something on here!! It works if you work it. And y’all are worth it.

Thank you

Hey Martin.
Welcome. This is the Talking Sober forum. I guess it part of the Sober Time app.
Have a good read around here. This place has been a great place for me to get support in my sobriety. Addiction is too tough to go it alone. We are stronger in numbers. And we are all worth it.
Here are two good threads to start:

Hello, I am Michael, 93 days sober after 32 years of drinking. 1/4/21 I had enough, for years everyday I thought I need to chill or quit drinking. I have a 12 and 15 y/o boys and when my oldest was 4 he came down from his bedroom and said , “ Daddy, why when we go to bed you always make that drink”? ( Jack and Coke) that should’ve been enough right there , I have regrets about being hungover and not doing stuff because of alcohol, I wish I would’ve seen it when they were younger. They are proud of me, no bottom out story of arrest or DWI , just got tired of everything and the cycle booze leaves you in.

Hi, I’m Mike, DOC Alcohol. I’ve not drank since 2/13. 55 days. I’m happy to be sober. I’m from Southern Georgia. I’ve drank since I was a kid. I had one PBJ for DWI back in ‘94, other than that I’ve been able to stay out of legal trouble. In the last couple years though, I found, once I start to drink, I don’t want to stop until I can’t drink anymore. “Stop” had escaped my vernacular, especially where drinking was concerned. And remembering last night was next to impossible. It’s good to meet y’all.

Hi I’m Ria and I’m an alcoholic. I am losing my family and need help to sober as my partner will not have me back until I help myself. I have 2 children I’m missing dearly. My youngest is 3years of age and missing her mummy… I hide drinks and will drink sometimes during the day. I have been lying to my partner. He had to have police and ambulance involved on numerous occasions, I feel so ashamed 
Please help me
