New here, day 2 and hopefully counting

It absolutely is. You did the right thing. And you’re low-key darkly funny about it. Yes it’s hard but there’s a quirky side of you that is freer and more accessible when you’re sober, and she’ll become more apparent in the days and weeks ahead.

Welcome to Talking Sober! You can do this. Keep connected and keep sharing and learning. It is possible, and you can do it.

I like to learn from people who have walked the path before me. I do a lot of podcasts and groups. Books are good too. Here’s a bunch: Resources for our recovery

I do a daily voicemail to my sponsor and I have two other people I call on WhatsApp every day to do checkin calls where we follow a script of questions to help us think clearly and stay aware. I also spend lots of time here on TS to be encouraging and helpful where I can.

Don’t give up. There are hard times ahead but your worst day sober is gonna be better than your best day drunk :innocent:
