I am starting my sober journey again. Today is day 1 and I have tried sobriety so many times. I need it to stick this time.
I feel defeated and tired but I have sober friends I can lean on.

It’s important to dig into why you turn back to it. What does it do for you? And is it worth the price?

Welcome, Mary Catherine! You’ve come to good place to meet more sober friends. Virtual, true, but the good thing is that there’s pretty much always someone in the world who’s up and keeping the lights on. 
Truly, though, this place has helped get and stay sober. Read, post, interact, and when a craving comes, reach for your phone and read and post some more. Way better than anything that comes out of a bottle. This thread’s a good place to start.
