Hello my name is Miguel, I’m an alcoholic. I’ve been sober for 11 months and 10 days. Just before leaving work I had a strong temptation to drink. It came with a ton of ways and reasons to go back to drinking. But as God delivered me initially, so He continues to deliver me. Yes, I take no credit for my sobriety.

Thanks for listening!

Congratulations on your sober time and fighting the craving. I am sure you don’t ever want to go back to day 1. Welcome here to a wonderful world of sober folks. Read around and share what is going on!

Welcome to the community Miguel! Way to go on your sober time. Grateful that you came here and reached for support instead of giving into that craving. That craving wont last but a relapse could be very difficult to recover from.
Keep up the great work and hope to see you around. This is a wonderful supportive community to be a part of.

Thank Tailee17 and JazzyS,
I appreciate the support and encouragement! I was at this timeline before, and relapsed. So 1 year will truly be a milestone, yes indeed!

I couldn’t agree more! Hang in there, and keep up the good fight!
I’m new here. I’m a little over day 2 clean from active meth addiction. Any advice anyone has on how to get the most out of Talking Sober would be great. I’m going strong right now, just trying to make it to day 3 clean.

How are you doing?
Hi friends, Can anyone recommend a good 12 step workbook. I have lost track of where I am. I am thinking it would be benificial just to start all over.
At this stage in my oh so lovely journey of being benzo free, I’m dealing with another wave of PAWS. This one is benzo belly! Why so seemingly long after detox, I dont know. I understand the stomach has gaba receptors in it and, the anxiety, stress and lifing life adds to this feeling. Breakfast is my biggest meal then my appetite declines during the course of the day. In a week’s time I may eat a cup worth of dinner twice. I’m being kind to my belly but has anyone else experienced this and if so, what avenues did you take to help with eating?
Anxiety, tinnitus and the occasional hand twitch are still hanging out for free! Meditation and prayer def helps me with anxiety and feelings of anger. Im going to keep this up a day at a time because i will get my life back! Actually, I have it back, I just cant wait until that moment of “wow”!
Love and light!

Right? Isn’t amazing how much time was wasted hustling every day. Now clean there is so much damn time!! I’ve been there. Been drug clean for a few years but booze is another problem. One day at a time … good luck
