Wow day 10, amazing!! Stay vigilant Laura the weekend is approaching keep yourself safe from temptations and remember to keep saying no, i know its hard at the moment but it will get better in the long run
Laura, you should be really proud of yourself for what you’ve achieved. Every day I log on to TS I go looking for your post, praying I’ll see you here having smashed another day
I found it got a lot easier after day 10. A word of warning though, strong urges might still strike and you have got to be ready for them. You have got to want to be sober a lot more than you want to get fk’ed up. Watch out for weekends, etc. You have to say NO to parties because you’re still very early in your sobriety. You have to protect it fiercely.
After over a year of sobriety, I made the massive mistake of thinking I could moderate, because I thought I’d ‘reset’ my tolerance to alcohol. I wasn’t just wrong, I was plain stupid. That notion sent me down the alcohol hole for 14 months, and here I am again on the sober road. I’m on day 63 now. The hardest, most soul destroying days are your first days of quitting alcohol. I’d much rather keep going sober as this is a hell of a lot easier than trying to quit again. It’s bloody painful, but you know that.
Well done getting 10 days done! This is huge. How do you feel about joining us on the 100 day challenge? I have found it really helpful. I think you should challenge yourself, do it!!

Thanks Binx, it feels great yeah although im always cautious of complacency, i still crave but its getting a bit less so now, i have good days and bad but i know il be on this journey for life, overall my life is so much better and thats what i really want for u and Laura…everyone struggling really thats why i come on here to try and help, i know the utter despair of not being able to stop, its like a prison.
