Well, I took the leap today and decided to take the path to sobriety. I’m not fully sure what to expect yet. Alcohol has become my coping mechanism that I rely on whenever I feel stressed… Which is often. But I am realizing that it only makes things worse both physically and emotionally. I am excited to have found this community and am looking forward to a life free of alcohol.

Welcome. Ive just passed my year sober. Its one of the best decisions I have ever made. Not wanting to press that reset button really helped me stay sober and knowing that if i did drink i would HAVE to press it made sure i didnt. Good luck and welcome to the rest of your life

Day 3 here. Unfortunately, this isn’t my first rodeo - I’ve been in and out of the program for 3+ years. So starting over. I had decent stretches of sobriety following a few stints in treatment. You are smart not to test it - try to get it right the first time - it only gets worse.
Good luck.

@Bella2 even an alcoholic with two days sober can help another alcoholic. Don’t short change yourself. We can all help each other.
