Thanks hope I can keep it up this time

How long you been sober, and is it alcohol like me

Yes, definitely alcohol as well, particularly wine. According to the app, it has now been 3.9 days, so pretty close to 4 days ! :grinning:
The weekend is coming up, and that’s usually a tough (and kind of lonely) time for me, but I plan to stick it out.
I’ve tried before (without the app and the forum etc.) and I once got to about 45 days, only to backslide viciously !
We’ll both get there !

Congratulations on a week! Dealing with the anxiety is one of the hardest parts for me. It was so easy to get drunk for temporary stress relief. It’s taken me a long time to develop other methods of relaxing. It took time but I slowly started remembering the things I used to enjoy doing before I drank and I’ve worked at cultivating those interests. I also found that walking is a very good way for me to process my thoughts. Great job and I wish you continued success.

How you doing im going on a month now

I’m a week in as well. Congrats! It’s tough man, but it’s better having a clear mind and facing our challenges than to run away from it and create more.
