@JANINA Well done on 4 days! @JayneB Double digits! Lets go with day 10 @Beezley32 day 2 in process – hang tight love – it does get easier!
You are all doing amazingly well. The beginning stages are super hard. Hang on and do what you must to keep moving forward (we are all here for you). The sober journey is very rewarding.
This is a wonderful community for sure - take your time to read around the threads and jump in when you feel ready. A few of my absolute favorite threads:
Bored does suck – idle time is worst for the urges to fester. I try to make sure i am busy with work, cleaning, hobbies (puzzles, knitting…etc), spend a lot of time on this site reading etc.
I can understand how being surrounded by it all the time is difficult. Have your go to non alcoholic drinks on hand and always have one in hand when hanging out (if you are unable to skip the hang out sessions after a game etc).
It is not easy (especially at the beginning) but it can be done. Best of all - this site is active 247 so someone is always around to help.
