I just started today. Relapsed last night. Downloaded this app today to help me. Didn’t know there was such a large community here. I’m more motivated than ever now to quit this addiction before it takes my life, and it nearly did 3 times in the last month and a half. Good luck on your recovery. We can do this.

Are you doing online meetings? If you are craving, best thing to do is to jump on a zoom. They have them 24/7.

I’m on day one too. Woke up feeling like shit because I drank too much last night. I drank and cried because of some things that are happening in my family. I live in another country, a different continent and I feel powerless when I find out what’s happening. But I also realized I can’t keep asking people to change their bad behavior if I don’t change mine. I know I can do this. I once stayed sober for 2 years and I remember my life was way better then.

Checking in on day 5 here. Struggling with a few things though - been kicked out so currently homeless crashing at friends who aren’t sober. Feeling a bit overwhelmed with my living situation and having no financial stability - I know the only thing that will make me forget the situation I’m in is to drink but still hanging on coz deep down i know it will make things 10× worse. Feeling so isolated with reality atm. I tried AA when I was sober for 4 months but not 100% sure it’s for me.

Hi. New here. I am almost a full 4 days sober. One day, one minute, one second and one step at a time. It is not easy but as long as we keep trying we will be fine.

Hey Chris, it can happen sometimes a thread or post is overseen or other threads are visited more and listed on top. Don’t believe its out of bad intention. I am sorry for your relapse and your living situation. I hope you will find somewhere to live soon. Drinking was never the solution for me. I closed my eyes and ran away from reality but the problems remained and my self hate grew.
Maybe checking in in the Checking in daily to maintain focus #30 main checking in thread would also be an option.

One day at a time. It’s not hard to stop drinking, it’s hard to not pick up again. When one day is too long, maybe try and cut it down in smaller pieces. An hour, until 7pm, then until bedtime etc.
When I decided to cut alcohol off my life, I soon threw away all the wine glasses, even the bottle opener had to go. What for? I live alone. I wanted to put the boundaries higher to get booze and remind myself that this is a non-alcoholic household from now on.
