Welcome @Sarah3! You can do this. Take it a day or a moment at a time. It really helps to break it down like that. A sober life is so worth it! Stay strong!

Welcome, Sarah! I use alcohol to get me through loneliness and social situations as well. I relapsed after almost 60 days sober and am back on day 5. But prior to that I certainly hadn’t gone more than 4 days without drinking/getting drunk. You’ve come to a good place. So many people here can help you help yourself. You can do it!

Hi @Sarah3. My name is Sofia and I’m an alcoholic. Being sober is a great way to start the day. I also have a young son who is 4, so I can relate to how you feel about letting down your kids. Don’t get bogged down by the negativity of your past. Focus on the parent you can be today and each day that you are sober gives you a new chance to make things right for yourself, your children, and your husband.
