New here, excited for my journey away from alcohol!

Hi, I’m Jeremy. I’m 30 years old and been an alcoholic for around 15 years. I come from a family of generational alcoholics I’m hoping to break the cycle and show my true strength :muscle: I’m usually very introverted but I will do my best to share my journey over time.

Welcome Jeremy, you’re in the right place here :innocent: Lots of us have been exactly where you are. I was in my early 30s when I started my sober journey too.

The gratitude thread is one of my faves (Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #8 🪷) and I found the groups, books and podcasts on this thread helpful too: Resources for our recovery

Welcome to Talking Sober!

Thanks Matt, this community here seems very wholesome and I will definitely check out those things! Getting sober seems scary but I have to buckle up and do this for my family and myself ultimately. Much love!

I know it sounds cliché but you just take it one day at a time. Worry about making it until bed tonight sober . Then worry about tomorrow when it arrives . You can do it!

Welcome, Jeremy! You can do this!

You are making a great decision. Alcohol is your ticket to a miserable life and an early grave. I think you as a person are worth more than that.
