You werent happy when you were drinking you just didnt know you felt anything else! You wont be happy drinking a bottle of vodka you just wont feel sad then it becomes more about sustainability not getting sick everyday then it will be about a argument you had today! Congratulations you turned 1 day into 144 you should be beyond proud of yourself let tomorrow be 145 instead of the 1st day of a relapse.

Each time I ‘dodged a bullet’ it made my resolve stronger, knowing how easily my sobriety could have been lost. Dodging those bullets gets easier, until your so good you’re doing it like in the Matrix!

You see that feeling? You wake up and you’re so glad you didn’t drink? Take a good mental note of this, you’ll need it any time your sobriety is under threat. It’s glorious waking up clear headed in the morning.
I can’t applaud you enough for coming straight here when your sobriety was threatened. As Kelly said, this was a masterclass on how to avoid a disaster. You sought help from people that understand you, it’s all about communication.
As Dan said above, we ARE you, we know exactly the feelings you’re talking about. There will be every reason under the sun to drink, but that feeling you feel this morning is worth staying sober for.
Welcome to the site, stick around

Hi, yes everyone on here helped me last night and then this morning, I thought that I should do the same and hopefully help other people when they are struggling. Definitely going to be more active on here.

This to me is absolutely what its all about…recovery doesnt mean ul never struggle but getting help from those who understand when u do is crucial…then it creates a ripple effect in which you then want to help others…its a win, win and a beautiful thing imho

I prefer Aldi lol . when i got shaky in early sobriety i had a sponsor or a friend id met at a meeting to lift the phone to and there wasnt any mobiles then but a good network and face to face meetings helped me stay sober through the shaky times wish you well
