Very well earned congratulations on your first week. It’s the hardest one, imo. But you’re doing it and becoming more aware of what it will take to continue on this path, great! Welcome to Talking Sober (TS) and I hope you will stick around here, there’s lots to read about people’s experiences, resources that are available and sometimes just some fun distractions on here, too. Becoming an active member of this community made (and continued to make) a huge difference for me in feeling connected to people who “get it,” and the mutual support going on 24/7 is such a comfort. If I might recommend some threads to check out as a new member, here are a few links: [Daily check in thread](https://talkingsober.com/t/checking-in-daily-to-maintain-focus-55/165215) [Resources for our Recovery](https://talkingsober.com/t/resources-for-our-recovery/52812) [Advice for the Newcomer](https://talkingsober.com/t/advice-for-the-newcomer-and-constant-relapser/11064) Glad you’re here!
