My dad said I am on the streets unless I seek help. About to go into a meeting. I need daily support as most of you do. Here’s the day 1.
Congrats on day 1! You will find all kinds of support here and many words of wisdom. I look up to every person here and wish you well on your journey! I am happy for you and I hope you enjoy your meetings and lean on this community for support and understanding. Hugs!
@Kbh good luck. Hope you found a good meeting. I found that different meetings have me different opinions, if you don’t care for the first one try again. It is a tough journey we are all on, look through this app and you will find great information and support. Stay strong👍
Good for you! Keep going back. I have a new meeting at 8:30 & am nervous. You give me encouragement though
Yay you! Good for you on taking this step
I am on day 2. Feel short tempered and nervous. Afraid to go out to eat with friends and do normal stuff. Hope I can do this. Feeling weak.
I am day 3, and having the same feelings. I’m ok in the mornings but irritable and snappy later in the day. I am worried that doing stuff with people will never be the same and I will be preoccupied with the fact that I am not drinking. BUT there is so much encouragement on this site. People reassure that these feelings decrease as your body and brain adjust, gives us newbies some hope! Hang in there!
I am thankful I have found this site too!! I need the support! High five day 3!
Day 2 after a depressing and very shockingly realistic relapse. There are tons of tools and resources and sober people out there to help us on our journey. We have to put in that effort to seek help. Any emotions are just that…feelings that you are actually feeling without numbing or covering them up which feels foreign and uncomfortable. They will get easier to deal with over time. Addiction is cunning and baffling and progressive…sobriety is a gift to yourself that will give you more than you imagined.
I’m terrified of relapsing. I’m thankful for the support.
Don’t feel weak as you are being strong. Remember how amazing you will feel tomorrow without a drink today x
Im on day 1 of being sober from alcohol. I plan on get a gym membership tomorrow.
The gym is one of my outlets. It really helps
