Coming back day one, looking for a real sense of community, reading this naked mind has been a big help

Your last post was a year ago, how long did you stay clean or sober, where did it begin to go wrong?

I am sorta new here. Still trying to find my way. Sober 2 -30 stretches. Just keep trying again. I don’t have any advice. Just good vibes sent to you for a strong start and satisfaction.

I did not have a real everyday system that put my recovery first, and I was lucky to avoid situations or cravings until now

Another vote for Allan Carr’s book here. I also love podcasts and there are lots on sobriety.

Welcome back!

it’s good to hear you know what you were doing wasn’t working and now can try a different approach, if we keep doing the same thing we will get the same results. I used to think I could just think myself sober and failed every time now I have a daily routine and people I can turn to. I wish you all the best and if you ever need anything don’t hesitate to ask.
