I am 10 days in yay!!! Last night I tried non alcohol beer it wasn’t so bad
Congrats on getting 10 days in! Thats fantastic
Thank you! It’s like watered down beer but actually didn’t mind it!
I figured it’s more, the habit of having something to hold and sip whilst socialising. Watching people get drunk is more satisfying knowing that I am not.
Waking up with zero hangover today felt truly amazing and so proud of myself
How are you on your journey ?

Hello Sarah
So happy for you and yes something to be proud of! I know it’s a controversial topic for the na drinks but I do myself find that they do help in the social settings. Some are better than others but still anything is better than the actual drink and the damn after effects. So nice to wake up sober and with no hangover.
I am doing well and keep reminding myself that this journey is one day at a time. Some days are harder than others but I fee like this time around is different and I am determined to keep my sobriety ticker moving forward. Love this community and all the support that it provides.

Hey Sarah
Just checking in…how are you doing?
16 days sober!!! I’m doing ok !!
Oh thats awesome!!! Happy Sunday my sober friend
So I’ve come on holiday and drank for 2 days more to celebrate no binging - do I reset my clock or carry on as I’m on my 20 days sober urghhhhh
In my opinion its best to reset the clock. Start yourself from day 1 and know that no amount of alcohol is good for your mind /body. It is a very slippery slope. I was using a different app before this one which allowed me to “quit gradually” -meaning, i could do my doc and still considercmyself as quitting as long as i did it much less and less frequently. Let me tell ya - that never worked.
Even if i made it to 1 week (only happened when i was on vacation which my family thinks is odd) then came home and cracked open a beer - that was ok. Well then my brain said hey you didnt go off the deep end so lets have on more the next day. Then id have a really bad dayvand hell that deserves a drink…so on and so on…it really wasnt ling before i was back to full on drinking and all the while my counter was adding days of sobriety. I realized the only one i was fooling was me.
Hey love - youve made it 20 days. Start fresh and with the feeling that youve got 20 days of healing under your belt and you were able to do it. You can and will do it again and this time surpass that number.
Sending you support. We are all here if and when you need.
