I see. Well that’s great news! You’re making the right choice. For me this is my third attempt at sobriety. I have 626 days today. I can say that this time I asked myself this one simple question
What can I do differently this time?
Well it turns out that after making that one change, I was then able to make more changes and more changes to myself for myself and my sobriety. So with that said, easy does it. One day at a time.
For me, AA is a wonderful program. The literature and big book is a great place to get more information on what our disease is about, how we are effected by it and what the solution is. I’m here if you have questions

Aw well congrats on that that’s so awesome ! I’ve read the big book I really liked it a lot. I’m in the middle of my NA book right now and I like the concept because the way the big book is set up was a little confusing to me at first . Thank you for your feed back, I’m trying to just take it one day at a time !

Hey Sarah! I just wanted to say: 1) I am so proud of you and 2) I am in the same boat! 4 days sober and reading NA book and catching meetings when I can find one. I highly recommend the NA app as it has meeting finders etc. again, so proud of you and you should be proud of you too!

That’s awesome. From my experience earlier in sobriety I was confused with the big book as well. I would attend book study meetings to help me with it. Then I did pick up the NA material As well. Started to read that then life happened and I put both down. Now with more days and clarity I’ve picked up the AA big book again and I’m having a blast reading it. I’m grasping so much more. I’ve also been reading a few other books on spirituality.
Well it sounds like you’re well on your way to getting what you want out of sobriety. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! I really appreciate it & congrats to you as well. You’re doing great and you should be proud of yourself too ! If you ever need to message anyone or talk you can always message me ! I just downloaded the NA app so I’m hoping I can find a meeting I can consistently

NA book is pretty damn awesome. I hold a highlighter as I’m reading to mark the things that really stand out and speak to me. Been using the app too to find meetings which I started going to last Monday and every night since. Congrats on your couple days sober already and glad you joined especially if you’re struggling some. Plenty of good people here to reach out to willing to help if you need to talk or anything. You’re stronger than you might think so keep it up

I don’t even remember how many times I’ve tried. It’s been since Feb 2017. It’s one 24 hr day at a time. Don’t ever get discouraged. Never stop trying. One day will lead to the next. I’ve come to finally understand. It’s only about today.
