Hi, this is my first post, I joined this App 5 days ago, I’m sober 5 days now… thank you for helping me. I have been fighting my addiction to alcohol for over 5 years now, most of the time by myself. Reading your posts here I started trusting and believing… I don’t feel alone anymore. Thank you xxx

Welcome and congratulations on your 5 days Blanka.
Being active on here keeps me sober.
That and meetings now.
I could never do it alone. It’s ok to ask for help.
Hope to see you around.
Hi @Blanka, welcome to the team! Glad that reading through the forum has already been of help to you, please let us know if there is anything else specific that you would like help with? Great job on 5 days sober 
Thank you so much Eric xxx I’m still learning how to use this app so might be clumsy to start with. Yes, I believe that checking in every day will make a massive difference! PS beautiful cat

Thank you 
That’s Daisy.
There’s 2 very popular daily check in threads.
I like the Daily Gratitude thread.
It’s a powerful tool and a great way for me to start my day.
And there’s the daily check in thread lots of people use too
Join in when you’re comfortable. If you have any questions navigating the app. Just ask. Plenty of people around willing to help.

Welcome Blanka, 5 days is awesome 
I know! Thank you x Hard work though lol, ups and downs all day long. I cant wait for them to stop being so intense!
Sometimes I can’t believe that this is happening to me… this luck of control over my mind and actions. And it is getting worse and worse…

5 days is a great start. I found success once I started using this app so it can happen for you too.
Check in everyday, I made a habit of doing it at roughly the same time everyday, but do what works for you. Stay strong and stack those days up
Welcome @Blanka. It’s not luck, its hard work and you are doing it! Well done on your 5 days, that is such an achievement. I’m just a week or so ahead of you so know exactly what you are going through.
Together we can do this!
