Good for you!!!

Welcome.

I knew I was in trouble when I started needing that little shot to get me some “armour” to start the day. It was hard at first to not do it but it is sooooo worth it. The truth is we don’t NEED it. We just think we do.

Ah the old good morning shot. Usually followed by a couple more to try and make myself feel normal and get through the day until I cod drink again that night.
Congratulations on 1 day! Keep reading and talking to people that understand. It really does help. Find some groups or meetings and keep your days full and busy with things that don’t involve drinking.

Hey congratulations!!! It’s pretty amazing to wake up and recognize you have the strength to make a different choice. Know that others on here (read: me) know what a HUGE deal it is. One of my favorite things about sobriety has been the recognition that I am so much more capable than my addicted brain gave me credit for. Really happy you’re here❤️

Congrats! Day 1 is the hardest…just treat every day as day 1. Read and learn how to live without the addictive, cancer causing poison! Lots of great threads on this site…

That’s great!!!
Congratulations on winning the morning!
