Welcome SilentA.
Great share for your first post and introduction here. I’m glad you found us.
I finally after years and years of drinking found an app and reached out for help. And one day at a time I’m living a sober life. Is it my best life? It is today!
It took me awhile, to finally admit to people I am an alcoholic. I didn’t like the way it sounded and the stigma of that label. But once I did it was so freeing.
I’ve been pretty active on here for a few years now and this wonderful community helps keep me sober. I start most days on the gratitude thread.
It’s my strongest tool. When I’m sober I got so much to be grateful for. When I’m drinking? I got nothing. After just a few months of daily gratitude work, writing it, reading others, I’ve retrained my brain.
Have a good read around here. There’s lots of great people and tons of recovery knowledge if you decide you want your life back. My life is so much more manageable not planning every waking moment around my next drink.
One day at a time my friend. ODAAT
Just for today.
