How many days y'all? (Part 1)

I never thought I could do it… the doctor put me on morphine many years ago and then I would also buy from a so called friend but am now 45 days free … I’ve had my lows and highs but omg it’s so worth it. … I no it’s not drink but still a addiction and if anyone is starting this journey then let me tell you am proud of you… your amazing
Your strong
Your a survivor

I am just 2.3 days in and new to this scene. I have tried AA before but do not know if that is the format that works for me. I am in the wine industry so alcohol is ALWAYS around it seems. My marriage is in turmoil and I was recently triggered by my husband telling me he is interested in having an open marriage. Very difficult for me to hear. I am hurting pretty bad right now but am trying to be strong. Much love to all y’all

Welcome to the community Dave
Well done on your 2+ days of sobriety. It is harder to fight for when you among your DOC and giing through personal issues but it can and has been done.
If AA isnt for you- have you checked into other support groups? Are you able to talk with someone irl?
This is a fantastic community that you have joined. So much love and support here- lots of great advice and encouragement and absolutely 0 judgment. You are not alone here.
Read around the threads - join in when you feel ready. We are all here fighting our DOC(s) and lookingvfor a addiction free life.
Glad you are here - hope to see you around.

Thank you Jazzy! Mere minutes away from 3 days! No longer at such a dark place with my husband. We are 22 years apart and I think he is experiencing FOMO. We have been together 6 years and he is now 31. He said he loves me and has no plans on going anywhere but still may want to “experience “ some more. Drinking has ruined so many of my relationships. I am sick and tired of it. Time to kick this beast out of me. My best friend of 30+ years has been c/s for 3 years now. He is a great support. Recommended a book called “The spirituality of imperfection” Said it helped him a lot and he knows me better than most. Anyhow, I appreciate your kind reply and I am pouring a cranberry hibiscus sparkling water over ice to honor 3 days sober in 7 minutes. Be well.

So happy to hear that you are on day 3 and not in the dark place. Wishing you the best with your relationship and on your sober journey.

I haven’t read that book but it sounds like a great read.

Can i say YUM - that sounds so refreshing! ENJOY and Happy Friday!
