Welcome!! Glad you are here. I tried the moderation route a bunch of times. It always resulted in eventually slipping back into daily drinking and binges . There’s folks out there who evidently can have alcohol in their house and they can take it or leave it, but I’m not one of them! Took me a looong time to accept that but once I finally did, then I began the work to get and stay sober. TS really has helped me a lot in this regard.
So please stick around and read around. Lots of advice and support here!
Welcome Chelly,
I’m glad you found us.
Moderation never worked for me.
This is a great sober community to get and give support. It keeps me sober. One day at a time.
Have a good read around. Join in when you’re comfortable.
Good work @Chelly! Sounds like you know what you want (physically and mentally). Exercise is helpful (essential I think); groups and communities like Talking Sober and other recovery spaces with other people in recovery - those spaces are essential too.
