First day again, this time want it to be for good

Hi Lizzy, welcome here in this community :woman_raising_hand:

What helped me a lot was being here. Being here to read and write and learn about my addiction. First year of my recovery I was here each day and today 7 years later I’m still here a lot.

Getting sober isn’t “just quitting” it’s a whole lot more. You have to change a lot. For most of us drinking is a coping strategy. It’s how we deal with all our emotions. So if we quit demping those with our habit we has to deal with them another way. For me I made a plan with some kind of a strategy to help myself trough the early months. I will share that thread with you:

Another thread that maybe useful for you is this one: Checking in daily to maintain focus #80 - #3 by Lucalds . I used it every day to check in and so keep myself accountable.

Connection is key, so connect! Do it here ore in AA ore both! It will help!

See you around, you can do it! :oncoming_fist:
