Welcome y’all.

Have a good read around here. This place has been a great place for me to get support in my sobriety. Addiction is too tough to go it alone. We are stronger in numbers. And we are all worth it.

🙏🏻❤

Here are two good threads to start:

- [Resources for our recovery 3](https://talkingsober.com/t/resources-for-our-recovery/52812)
- [Frequently asked questions about sobriety for newcomers](https://talkingsober.com/t/frequently-asked-questions-about-sobriety-for-newcomers/32401)

Welcome to the forum!  
Reading and sharing here really helps, you can find tons of information here. Just reach out if you feel you’re struggling. The Check in thread is a good way to keep yourself accountable.  
I’m from the ČR as well 🙂

Thank you, Laura. Good tip, I am already sooo hungry the whole day! Luckily I will switch the booze for more sports. 🏉🏃‍♀️🏇🚵🏻‍♀️🏍  
Would be happy if anyone will join me and challenge each other 🤩

Hi Tomek, thank you for your support. 🙏🍀 If you would allow I will bookmark your comment and in case of struggle text you, sometimes it goes easier in the mother language. 😊

Feel free to text me anytime you struggle, but I’m afraid my Czech wouldn’t be good enough to correspond. I live here but I’m an expat, I’m still learning your language. But feel free to reach out in English anytime.

Welcome! I’m not going to wish you luck because it has nothing to do with sobriety. It’s a lot of hard work but well worth it. Wishing you the best on your journey.
