Welcome to the community, Amy! :blush: The first couple weeks were super rough for me, and struggling to stay sober was part of it. But I stuck with it, dragged myself through the tough times, and I’m now at 6 months and feeling great. Just hang in there… it does get better. It really helped me in the beginning to read others’ stories and to share my gratitude on the Daily Gratitude thread. Here are a couple links to get you started. I’m glad you’re here. :purple_heart:

This is a great place to get and give support. I’m glad you found us. Have a good read around. Join in when your comfortable. I see Moxie already gave you the gratitude thread. It’s my strongest tool. I never ever start a day without it.
If you got questions using the app. Just ask. Everyone is so helpful. And we’ve all been new before.

Hi Amy welcome here and congratulations with your 1 week sober! :confetti_ball::confetti_ball::confetti_ball:
Well done! :facepunch:
This place is a great help for many of us myself included. It helped me to stay sober for more then 3 years now. I found this app when I was still drinking and quit a few weeks later.
The first year I was here every day and that helped me to stay focussed. So my advice is: be here much!
Read, read and read…to learn about how to deal with life without your normal “to go to” (in my case alcohol).
Focus on today and how to go to the end of it sober and repeat that tomorrow, don’t look to far ahead. First weeks are difficult, we all know that! Try to keep busy and keep hydrated. Reward yourself with something nice like chocolat, icecream ore something else you fancy, you deserve it! :yum:

So let’s both focus on today and do that sober :facepunch:

See you around Amy :raising_hand_woman:
