Without an anonymous group

No group for me either. I used a lot of different types of support, including relying very heavily on reading here daily during early sobriety. I was on here CONSTANTLY.

Prior to finding this forum, I tried other apps, but many didn’t have a community aspect or they weren’t for me. Also prior to this app I found a lot of sustenance from the message boards for Women for Sobriety (WFS) and also Soberistas (UK based, tho I am in the States).

I utilized yoga, meditation, healthy eating, physical activity and a hell of a lot of distraction and sweets. Plus I read FOR YEARS…books on getting sober, mostly memoirs …TONS of them and really got a lot from them. Annie Grace’s book, This Naked Mind, was huge for me, as was Quit Like A Woman by Holly Whitaker.

I also tried Naltrexone for awhile.

I recently celebrated 4 years of sobriety.

More on my journey here, including my list…which has been instrumental in my recovery…I love that list…keeps me sober…

There are so many different resources available now. I did compile a resources for recovery list for others…

Anyway…we achieve sobriety with what works for us individually. Keep doing you!! :heart:

Edited to add…I am a big believer as well in today being the only day we have. That also keeps me sane and sober. Be here, now.
