Day 1 of sobriety

Emotional Support
,
1

Hello! I am new on here. Today is my first day of many first days, but this time things are different. I have realized how alcohol is not fun anymore. It just makes me sad, and isolate. I have finallt started to tell friends. The most important person I told was my sister, which was the scariest person to tell. I am hoping this community will help me stay in track with my sobriety!

Thank you everyone :slight_smile: xo

You’re in a good place. Doesn’t matter how many first days you have. Once you accept that you are part of a group of people who accept that 1 is too many and 100 aren’t enough, it gets easier.

Hi and congratulations on your first day and on telling your sis you’re on the road to sobriety, it’s always hard telling friends and family. It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve tried, the fact that you’re trying again is all that matters. Good luck on your journey :heartpulse:

Welcome. I’m proud of you for trying to obtain sobriety.
I highly recommend checking in daily to keep focus in the checking daily to maintain focus thread.


I also recommend finding some activities to fill time like, running, cycling, working out, meditation/mindfulness, crafts, drawing, reading etc.
i also recommend reading on this forum a lot on this forum and asking questions if you have any.
Good luck, you’ve got this.

Thank you so much for all the information you’ve shared with me! I will definitely use checking in daily to keep myself motivated and accountable!

During the day I’m usually fine. It’s usually in the evenings I struggle the most. I have started by moving my morning workouts to the evening with a friend, but I still know it’s going to be challenging. I think reading through here will help in the evenings. :slight_smile:
Great to meet you!
