I’ve never tried a forum before . I have only been sober for two days. I have been sober a few times and thought I had control because I’m stubborn. Anywho I’ve had a revelation . I don’t have control. So here I am looking for a positive outlook and hope . I need to do this. I have had a seizure in the past . A few asthma attacks and so on. All under the influence but never sober. So of course my habits have to change in order to be healthy.

Thank You . I will definitely. I’m guessing I will have to yell at myself everyday to do so . Procrastination is kind of a strong suit of mine these days but hey. One day at a time .
Can you use that procrastination as a strength? Postpone that first drink until later?
I got dry by concentrating on getting to bed sober each night. I didn’t drink yesterday and I have a plan to not drink today. When I first started, I was taking Antabuse as the cornerstone of my efforts.
I got sober after I got dry, I needed a few weeks to get the fog out of my brain. For that, I went to individual and group counseling, I found a sponsor and a home group in AA and I worked that program of recovery.
There are lots of ways to get dry and to get sober. People here are willing to share what works for them. Have a look around!
Blessings on your house 
as you begin your journey.
