Still feel the pull toward it. But MAKING myself stay away! It’s a head game for me. Just have to tell myself KEEP GOING!!

Sorry if I’m not posting this right! I’m not very computer savvy.

Great job. Keep up the good work. Many people like the daily checkin thread.

It’s a great place to check in on the daily. Many people there can support and relate to what you’re going through. And most importantly you get to help others by being there.

The moderators will probably move your posts over there. Just to keep it tidy around here.

48 hours!! Hang in there there. Hang in here. It works.

Man! This is hard

Congratulations on your 48 hours! That is a great achievement. Making yourself stay away from alcohol is a good start, I hope that includes having no alcohol in your house this early on. What else are you doing to stay sober? I read a lot of “quit lit” early on and that helped me so much to keep my head in the game. Also stocking up the fridge with good nonalcholic beverages. I also chewed a lot of gum and had hard candies to suck on. You might consider attending an AA meeting. It helps so much to know there are others with the same struggles. Good luck in your sober journey! Keep posting here.

Thank you so much! This is all good to keep in mind.

The addict mind is a clever son of a bitch. I needed support and tools to finally find success in my sobriety.

Another great thread is the gratitude thread. I retrained my brain. I’ve spent years on this thread reading writing and living in gratitude. Probably my strongest tool.
