My struggle with alcohol is my dirty little secret so I can’t share my progress anywhere. So here I am….. hoping you’ll share in my joy. I’m 31 days sober!!! It’s not getting easier yet but I’m determined to keep going. I don’t want another day 1 of possible. Thanks for reading my post.

31 days is awesome! Congrats, that means our sobriety started the same week just two days apart! Glad you have found refuge in this place, it’s really such a welcoming and supportive space. I know what you mean about sobriety being a bit of a secret. Not all of my friends know the full story yet, they all know I’m not drinking but I’m not ready to sit around and get peppered with questions about meetings and shit lol
Case in point some buddies came by my baseball field today and got some hitting work in and then wanted to go to the bar around the corner. Fortunately I know the bartender has 22 years sober so even though I knew and my friends knew I wasn’t going to drink, it was nice to have an ally in the room that now knows I’m sober.

Congratulations!! Making it a month is huge, and I know it takes a lot of work. Drinking was my dirty little secret, too, and that was one of the things that prevented my from seeking out a community like AA or this place sooner. I wish I’d known what a difference a community makes.
Stick around and hang out with us!

Congrats on your 31 days! It will get easier and you never have to go back to day 1 again. Take it a day at a time and stick to a program that works for you. Continue to reach out on here and to other sober people in person. All that helps. Keep up the good work!
