Well, today marks day one of my second serious attempt at sobriety. I ended my first attempt in September of 2023, looking to “control my drinking” and handle alcohol responsibly. Along the way the last couple months my drinking lead to drugging (cocaine), as it always does. Multiple day benders, sleepless nights, and upsetting myself and loved ones. The last two weekends were the worst and it’s time for change. I believe I had to experience all of this again to really understand where I am as a person with addiction. Either way; excited, worried, anxious, but looking forward to this healthy and peaceful life. Talk soon!

Welcome to the community.
Todays meditation seems fitting. Coming to terms, admitting defeat, or as we like to see accepting that we have lost control and our lives has become unmanageable. Anyway you want to frame it for you you have taken a bold step by reaching out here and hopefully you will build some safety walls around yourself for awhile. There is alot of solid sobriety/recovery here. Sounds like you are ready to take the first step…stick around!!! 
Never give up, for that is just the place and time where the tide will turn. - Sober Time’s message for January 22, 2024.

That’s great! It took me several tries to learn I’m better off not drinking at all than trying to moderate. That shit was exhausting! So glad you are doing well!
