Stay strong! They say one day at a time but really it’s one minute at a time if you can resist the thought once you can do it again and again, before you know it you’ve got some time under your belt you never thought you’d have!!
I'm having a fake beer right now...I may have one or 2 on the weekends...some people say not to? We're all different and it helps me so I'm just passing it on if it may help you. I've been sober 23 days. Daily drinker for years...
You can do hard things
Keep going - the reward is priceless
Take it minute by minute
The beginning can be hard, but I promise it’s worth the hard work and effort! You got this!!!
Hello Ester and welcome: Yes, it's difficult in the very beginning, but the results are SO worthwhile! Take it a moment at a time if need be.

The problem with fake beer Is that it can still have a very tiny amount of alcohol in it even though it claims to be alcohol-free.
Drinking fake beer or mocktails is like teasing yourself. Sooner or later you give in and your brain wants the real thing. I can testify to this from experience.
The only thing we have to change in sobriety is everything!

It’s very hard but the rewards of staying sober are amazing. Please try to keep going one day at a time with your sobriety.

I promise, it gets easier, then it gets hard again, then it gets easier. Sobriety isn’t linear, you just gotta get through the hard parts
