I’m on day 4 and it’s a Saturday night and I’m struggling with wanting to go out and drink. I’m doing online meetings, reading my big book and praying.

Proud of you for taking counter action against those cravings.

Glad you came here. Early days are tough. Saturdays are tough. YOU are tough. Read every post on this forum if you have to. I did that at the beginning. Read about successes. Read about failures. That’s what I did 826 DAYS ago. It worked!!

Stay here!
You are not alone with your thoughts!
But taking the first drink will be a disaster…
I am struggling too, I am bored right now… But I stay home, hanging around in bed and we will be happy that we didn’t drink tomorrow!

Thank you so much and I know you’re right. I’m actually on a few different platforms. I posted on all of them looking for advice and support which I have gotten here and again I thank you. But when I posted on Telegram I was scolded and told I needed to send a DM, well I don’t know anyone yet to DM. I may be wrong and I know there are rules on every platform but I didn’t think expressing that I was struggling and looking for support was breaking the rules. Feeling frustrated

The first week is uncomfortable, but there’s growth in that discomfort.
One hour at a time, let’s get through this hour sober, just this hour, then we’ll deal with the next later.

Now is a good time to think about exactly why you stopped drinking and just focus on staying sober for this moment. I promise you, it gets much easier and your life will be significantly better in sobriety. Keep reaching out.

Don’t do it. You’re a Non-drinker. I am, too. We are right here with you. Can you go for a walk outside, get some air, clear your head? Have you ever tried tapping?
Right here with you.
