Here’s a whole mess of ideas on how to get and stay sober.

Resources for our recovery

There are so many helpful resources available to us on our sober journeys. I wanted to share this list for those who are interested. Please note: I created this with alcohol recovery in mind and it is U.S. based as well. Over time, I have added in resources for some other addictions, but it is heavy with resources for alcohol recovery. Books and memoirs are ones I have read. A link to a variety of resources This article contains links to many different types of communities and resources, it i…

2 years sober and what helped me to get there:

2 days ago I celebrated my 2 years sober again. Again, because years ago I had a long stretch of sober days too but relapsed after 5 years. My doc is alcohol. I started to drink when I was 16 year or so and it increased in my student days. I noticed I had a problem around the aged of 30 I guess. Tried to quit multiple times but couldn’t get more then 30 days sober Decided to give myself an ultimatum: 1 year. 1 year to get sober myself otherwise I would go to see my doctor and ask fo…

Day 3 can be a tough one. I’ve done many day 3s. But I promise it gets a little bit better everyday. Focus on your why and your how. Right now your “why” is probably more important just to get through the urges but soon the “how” is going to need to be decided on.

YOU CAN DO IT.

I had my day 3 as well Cody. It was a tough one with work and the stress it brought today. I felt like an emotional rollercoaster through out the day. I can only imagine how you were feeling.

Glad you checked in. You can do this.

Keep going. It really does get better. Everything gets better, sleep, waking up in the morning, your skin, your wallet and so much more.
Hang in there!

I am on day 9. The urges are here today for me as well. I’m sharing because it helps get us through these days. Stay strong and know that alcohol is not going to help. I have proven it many of times that it will not help. Stay strong!! Stay focused and busy. You can do it!!!

Stay positive, its hard but all in effort for a a healthier you.

First week is definitely rough but it does get better. I’ve had my battles, and heading into day 20 my battles are less.

[Thereishope999]

One day at a time yall.

The first two weeks were difficult for me. Pretty much because I had deprived myself of any real nutrients for so long. I lived on coffee pills and coke. I started a multi vitamin on day 5. Once my body adjusted and I was able to start eating again it was so worth it. I’m 3 and a half months clean and couldn’t be happier. Keep going. Give someone your keys and phone. Don’t leave your house til this is over. Trust me I’m living proof. I did the same thing.
