First day of total alcohol sobriety. We all need to start somewhere. Too many excuses to drink, too many fears of stopping and just consistent problems. My family are too important. My health is too important. There’s no looking back now. Here we go!

This is a great place to get support. Have a good read around and join in when your comfortable.

I am 9 days sober today… I have tried to do this before and know that the first 3 weeks are the hardest for me and it has been incredibly hard. Way harder than last time.

Congratulations on making the decision. Tonight I will hit two weeks that I have to tell ya there is really a hump to get over in the first week or so and even now. Does it start getting better after two weeks?

It’s gets better and better. Some days it doesn’t feel that way, but it happened for me, and so many others I know. Hang in there! Reach out. You’re doing it.

Let this time be the time you don’t have to do it again. For me, coming back into a program after relapse was difficult. Very difficult. But the blessings that come with sobriety are countless. It’s truly the best way to live life, for me.

Every day it gets easier and easier the hardest part is reaching out not letting our disease tell you your alone and nobody would actually wanna help because that is all that keeps those that came before you sober if they want to keep the freedom and joy they have found they have to introduce us to that same freedom and joy keep up the great work no matter what if you stumble dust yourself off and keep it moving forward but never ever give urself the excuse to stumble just dont beat urself to death should it happen

Day 1 success. It’s easy to feel alone, I know because I’ve tried this before, many times, unsuccessfully. I’m all in this time. I know it’s going to get harder, but knowing there are so many of you lovely people out there supporting me goes a long way towards feeling connected and accountable.
