One day, one hour, one minute, one second at a time. Take a breath and ask yourself what is making you want to use?

Now, more importantly, ask yourself why are you getting sober?

This feeling is something each of us are very familiar with. It is hard. But you can do it. One of the biggest things you can do right now is reach out. We are all cheering for you you got this!!

I’m on day 13

I felt a urge to pick up today also but that’s the addicted mind and it will make a excuse to pick up for any reason it can

There is no good reason to pick up

I believe in you guys

Tell that voice to go kick rocks. You’ve got this. If you drink you’ll regret it tomorrow just like you did your last drunk. Move forward, not backwards. Avoid the first drink no matter what and you’re golden. We’ve all got faith in you.

How is everyone doing a day later?
In the early stages, I drowned cravings by drinking two pints of water whenever they came. Then it’s like thinking about food after finishing a huge meal. It just doesn’t appeal to you. There is also the advantage that a hydrated brain makes better decisions.
