Currently at my lowest. And it’s time for a change. It’s taken me years to get to this point of accepting that a change really is necessary. And I’m scared.
I found this app simply because I wanted to physically have the app widget to see my days sober as they add up. But to discover that I could potentially find even the tiniest bit of community here as well makes me feel hopeful.
So, here’s to day one (and a half).
Welcome to Talking Sober, @ashleymariee
Happy to have you here. Congratulations on your new journey 
Congrats on day 1.5! This community and alcoholics anonymous helped me get sober after 20years of progressive addiction. Theres people here from all over the world, different addictions, different paths to sobriety. Read around and join in.
Please, please reach out before giving into a craving. No matter the addiction lies cravings will stop.
Glad you found us
Thank you 
I definitely will. Helps to know that’s even an option. Thank you.
Welcome to the community @ashleymariee !
Darkest before the dawn.. you’ve made the courageous decision wanting something better, and followed it up by starting your journey. Remember to give yourself grace, healing takes time. Watching those days build up is an amazing feeling on its own and while it may be difficult at times, know that nothing worth doing was seldom easy. Way to go! One day at a time. 
I joined here for similar reasons to yourself. I was just looking for an app with a decent ticker to record sober days and money savings. I had no idea there was an awesome community here to help with my sobriety, and they have, so so so so much.
During my first few weeks here I read the forum for a couple of hours a day, instead of scrolling other socials and I learned a lot. It doesn’t matter if you can’t spare as much time as I had but try to read up on some things.
You’re in the best place. 
That’s a really wonderful idea, and I’ll definitely be doing that. Thank you for sharing that. Makes me wonder if I could find some other corners of the internet with similar communities - more ways to doom scroll without it being unhealthy.
Again, thank you
I’ve been here three days and it’s been such a positive experience. Having a place to go makes such a difference. I hope you find the support you need, there is a community there for you now.
