Keep going and if you fall off the wagon, get back on and pat yourself on the back. This is not an easy process. Self forgiveness is part of recovery.

Welcome! Glad you are here. 3 days is great! We often live by a motto of one day at a time. I’m on my 9th day after a 2 year relapse and I can echo the importance of having a plan. But that can also get overwhelming at times and so our greatest accomplishment becomes being sober today. Thinking about yesterday or tomorrow can easily lead into thoughts of worry or regret or other things that often can derail us, so just focus on today and having at least a plan for staying sober today.
Another good thing to remember is you’re working to avoid the first drink. If we can avoid that first one, the other 99 are irrelevant because they all come from the first one.
Hope you find lots of good connections here, there’s a wealth of knowledge that can help you develop the plan that best suits you and your needs! Remember your sobriety is YOURS. Be unashamedly selfish about it because recovery is about you. The other people in your life benefit from it but this process is about you and you alone because if you’re not doing it for yourself it can and does often lead to tougher spots.

Hey well done on day 9 of getting back on track, we all fall off sometimes, this isn’t my first time or trying to get sober, I’m been on and off the sniff and drink for many years! Just now I’ve realised there is more to life than owing my money out! And becoming a better father than I already am! One day at a time I feel a totally different mind set this time, but that isn’t to say it’s going to be easy! Like you say take one day at a time and try and change me habits that make me go back to square one every time! I hope to make some good friends and connections through this group who understand and have been there themselves! And I’m overwhelmed with all the support on my first post and I hope I gain some friends for life from all over the world on my journey. X

Its not easy coming off our addictions but quite literally this place was a game changer, i was in such a bad way when i came here, absolutely rock bottom but the kind folks here made me realise that there was hope and that i at least had some worth in this world, ive been on here every day since and that was 4 years ago…when you struggle come on here first before youd contact the dealer or buy the drink and we will talk you through it, i can tell you with certainty that sobriety is worth it in the end, im the happiest ive ever been in my adult life these days
