I’m also on day 1. This time I need to do it. It’s taking its toll on my body and mind. We can do this!
Tip - Don’t worry about next week, don’t even think about tomorrow. I’ve been sober over 3 years and I can promise you I don’t know if I’ll be sober next week and I definitely have no intention of not having a drink for the rest of my life but Today I’m going to be sober. So all we gotta do is get to the end of the day and tomorrow we can do whatever we want.
Repeat.
Welcome again Liv.
Just saw you on the sober selfies thread.
One of my best tools for my sobriety is gratitude. We got a thread for that.
I start every day on that thread. Writing it and reading what others have. We got so much to be grateful for when we are sober. C’mon over I’ll save you a seat. Bring your own coffee though
This , in the beginning the future scared the pants of me like ill never drink again what about this event or what about that birthday but someone on here (cant remember sorry ) said just stay sober today and then 2moro is a new day and start again. Just that little saying takes so much of the stress and worry away day 100 woop woop
thank you! i’m comin over
You got this I’ve been in the same boat but just recently Jan 1 decided to jump out. I’m excited to see where this new journey will take me. I tried stopping a few times but didn’t have a real concrete plan. Now that I’ve joined this community I feel like have support and the stories I’m reading are motivating!!
Thanks for the good advice. I will use it.
