Welcome to the community and your first day of sobriety 🎉 You’ve taken a huge step by starting the journey and seeking support. We can not do this alone but we CAN do this.

The forum is active 247 so you’ll always find someone to connect with. The threads are filled with some great insight, tips and advice. Take time to read around. You are not alone. Check out the following threads to help you start your journey: [What’s YOUR plan?](https://talkingsober.com/t/whats-your-plan/177233) [Resources for our recovery](https://talkingsober.com/t/resources-for-our-recovery/52812) Also join us on the daily check in thread. A great way to check in as many times as needed and connect with other members. [Checking in daily to maintain focus #87](https://talkingsober.com/t/checking-in-daily-to-maintain-focus-87/209219) Our addiction will feed you lies and try to convince you to give in and start tomorrow or that one will not hurt. These are lies. We know these are lies and we can’t stop at one. Our way out is to not have that first sip. 🙏🏽 Take it one moment at a time…🤗 --- _[View the full topic](https://talkingsober.com/t/introduce-yourself/18)._
