When I wanted to become sober hard enough I found this forum and decided to give myself one year to get sober without help of AA ore such.
I’m addicted to alcohol and sober for almost 6 years with the help of this app and the community in it.
Connection is key. So I put the work in it to find my place here. I’m here every day. At first to check in sober, to vent ore chat with others, ask for help ore give help.
Now these days I’m here as a moderator as well, trying to give back my help to this app that gave me so much.
Sobriaty is not “just quit”. I had to change a lot in my life and personality as well. I made a sober plan to guide me trough it. Here is where you find it:
I made this thread when I was 2 years sober.
My advice for your recovery is to be open minded. Try all the tips you get here. Keep the ones that work and skip those that don’t.
There are people here that think that AA is the only way. I think that’s because it worked for them and they are hoping to save you too. A good thing but I think there are multiple ways to become sober.
I did it my way and it worked for me.
What works for you you have to find out by trial and error.
