Hey guys and gals, my name is Jaxin Daniels I’m 21 years old. I know I’m a baby with alcohol since it hasn’t been a full year since my 21st. I’ve had lots of bad things happen while i was drinking and i don’t want that lifestyle anymore. I hope you guys will talk to me and encourage me.

So happy you’re getting this at 21 - enjoy a full sober life - I couldn’t get out until 62

That’s great that you were able to recognize the effects alcohol can have on you at such a young age and realizing you need to make that change sooner than later. Proud of you!

Hi Jaxin so glad you’re here!!!
I suggest going to meetings, I started with two per week without fail. Then increased it to almost every day. Some say 90 in 90. Listen, especially for the message of recovery. We know how to get drunk and destroy our lives. Ask someone with considerable recovery to help you. Take the 12 steps as outlined in the AA Big Book. I finally committed to these suggestions, and have never looked back!!! Love my new life that I’ve lived for almost 29 years!!!

Bro, good on ya! Your life is so much better off because of it! Shoot, it took me until way later in life to realize what I needed to do & that was get sober and stay sober. It feels great to skip alllll the trouble we get into while drunk.
Stay strong & Be brave.
Be honest, open minded and willing. What you are doing isn’t easy. But it’s worth it. I went into rehab at 20. 8 years sober. Then went back to insanity although I was able to function in my job and family. It wasn’t worth it at all. And now at 50 I’ve got 138 days. You can do this. We are so proud of you!
