Hi my name is Chasity. i am 27 & this is like the 2nd or 3rd time I’ve tried to kick my bad habit of drinking alcohol. so far it’s been 21 days today!
Hey that is wonderful news, CONGRATULATIONS!!! it is not an easy road but we will all get there in the end. They say third times the charm… I hope you reward yourself… You deserve it…
Thx it feels pretty good. Didn’t feel like it had been that long already.
Congrats! Im 26, 2nd or 3rd time too and it’s been 19 days! Let’s do it!
I’m on my 6th-10th time.27 here. Somewhat hazy memory congratulations and welcome!
@Oliverjava That’s really awesome! I’m so happy for you! 2 more days & I’ll hit my 1 month milestone for the 2nd time since last year! United we can do it! Hugs
@Chasb89 Welcome, nice to meet you! That’s excellent! Keep up the hard work! @Ozdownunder & @LookingforChange you guys are doing great! Happy sober day!!!
Happy sober day to all…
@LookingforChange awesome! They say 3rd time is the charm so let’s do this thing!
@Tyler_Neal_Carlson thanc for the welcome…I hope to make many new friends here, it’s always easier talking to a fellow addict bc they can relate. Others try to help but it’s not the same ya know??
@Soberlife05 thanx for the welcome. It’s nice to meet you too. Hopeful to get over this problem.
Only been on here about a week myself. Its a good bunch to help get thru some rough patches. I check on here about every hour so just message me if your looking for a symbathetic ear. Helping out keeps the spirit up
thanx I’m sure I’ll keep you in mind
This is really inspiring to hear. I haven’t gone longer than 5 days without alcohol since I started drinking. Last night was probably my rock bottom and I can’t stand the shame anymore.
Well done!!! You should be really proud of yourself!
Your almost to 30!
Might not seem like much but when you get to 30 and beyond you really feel like you’ve achieved something great.
Keep up the good work!
Stay strong…stay sober!!
Thanx I’m pretty ok about quiting @ 1st but there were this few days that I passed the gas station & man how I wanted to stop & get me a drink! However, I promised my boyfriend that I would stop drinking if he stopped smoking & we both agreed bc we have small children & they don’t deserve to grow up without parents.
Stay strong Megatron it does get better! I know it’s so cliche to say but it really does. Some days you’ll be riding the pink cloud other days you’ll be drag ass thru the mud. That’s just your systems balancing out and trying to return to normal. Don’t let the bad days bring you back to the bottle cause the bottle never changes, but we do if we throw it to the side. Wasted ten years of my life to that shit.
Thanks for that. I’m so scared that by the end of this week I’ll have forgotten how crap I felt today and feel like a drink is no biggie…except it’s never just “a drink”.
@Megatron
If that happens just focus on how good it feels to be sober.
Think about your shittiest feeling drunk.
If you have someone that you trust that you can call to help get you through that moment then call them.
If all else fails come here and make a thread or email someone…
@Rikk Yeah I think that’s how it’s going to be because my friends are all big drinkers; no one seems to think I have a problem! So glad I found this app!
