After so many Half ass Attempts to get clean and sober. I Woke up this morning and I am ready. Today is my first day at life. No more Nonsense about me getting clean. I have been doing everything to kill myself. I realize now, I want to live. I want to be sane I want to be clean and sober. Today is the first day of my new life. I can use all the support and guidance that I can get.

Desire is huge!!
The desire to overcome our addiction and the strength to reach out for support is the best way to start.
I wish you well on your journey.

Best advice I can give you is stick around here. Every time you get an urge, come back here and read the stories of those who have already walked the path we’re walking, or those on the path with us. Be active, get involved. Build the foundations.

I know that feeling. I knew I wanted to be sober but I didn’t really want to stop drinking. Then one day it clicked. I wanted nothing to do with alcohol anymore. I’m now at 4.5 years sober.
It won’t be easy…it never is easy…but it will be much easier with this resolve!!
YOU CAN DO IT!!

I had desires too. Then I started drinking with the hopes of not waking up. Finally on 2/12 I put a .45 to my head pulled the trigger out of then, desperation. By Devine intervention or me being a shitty shot I missed. I have gotten professional help and take meds to help me. Today I’m over 90 days sober. I will pray for you that you are successful at your desire.
