Thank You. I know its going to be hard. Things im doing to keep my mind occupied is cooking i love it. Might get into baking. 
You should do it, baking helped me so much in early sobriety. And congrats on the 24 hours sober!
Thank you! Yeah for sure I will.
this is very important, knowing it will be hard, when you have learnt to accept every possible out come life, but especially recovery takes on a whole new outlook.
You can say, OK this is normal I was expecting to feel like this now what shall I do about it. I wish you well on your journey.

Welcome

I still consider myself new but not as new as y’all. I’ve never been one to try meetings or groups I guess because I’ve never really REALLY wanted to get sober. I thought this time I’d try something new and found this app and the support and encouragement from the peeps on here is just wonderful and imho nonjudgmental. It’s a really cool group. Thanks y’all. Lots of good stuff around here and good people to point you in the right direction towards other good readings and or threads. Whatever you call them. Good luck on your journey. Being sober really feels great!!

Welcome and congratulations for taking this decision! It will be hard but the benefits of a sober life are super worth it! For me it was really important on early sobriety to keep as busy as possible with things that I enjoyed- audiobooks, Netflix, podcast, cooking, sleep, yoga, music, writing, going for walks, etc. That slowly took my mind of alcohol and shifted my attention to things that I liked and that added value to my life.
Keep it going! You can do it!
