Hey man, good for you for taking the 1st step. The shaking and puking is always awful. I’m glad you’re here, keep checking in.

Welcome! Sounds like you’re through the worst bit of withdrawals. There are so many resources that folks have shared, I encourage you to take a read around!

Hi and welcome!! This forum has played a huge role in my sobriety, especially in the early days. Detox is awful but if you take it one day at a time (ODAAT) and keep connected on here, you don’t have to go through that ever again. Reach out on the forum at any time, there’s always someone online to offer support

But I’m completely comfortable to say keep up the hard work, only you can make you feel better staying clean is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done but after 5 minutes comes one day and then on to day 34 and 1 hour just take it slow. Glad that you’re here!

Here’s a couple great threads to get you started. Blessings on your house as you begin your journey!

2 years sober and what helped me to get there:

2 days ago I celebrated my 2 years sober again. Again, because years ago I had a long stretch of sober days too but relapsed after 5 years. My doc is alcohol. I started to drink when I was 16 year or so and it increased in my student days. I noticed I had a problem around the aged of 30 I guess. Tried to quit multiple times but couldn’t get more then 30 days sober Decided to give myself an ultimatum: 1 year. 1 year to get sober myself otherwise I would go to see my doctor and ask fo…

Resources for our recovery

There are so many helpful resources available to us on our sober journeys. I wanted to share this list for those who are interested in non traditional resources. Please note: I created this with alcohol recovery in mind and it is U.S. based as well. As a straight white past middle age woman, it is based on what resonated and helped me in my journey. Over time, I have added in resources for some other addictions (found at the end of this post), but it is heavy with resources for alcohol recovery…
