Day one.. starting over. Kindve (really) ashamed of myself that I am starting over when I know who I want to be. The best version of me. Not having sober friends/community sucks.. I don’t want to be used to doing things all alone.

You are not alone. I have too many day ones to even count. Just keep trying and it will eventually stick.

Just like all those drunk friends took time to make, so does it with sober friends. At least you'll have higher standards now and know the difference in "friends" and "bar friends".....

I can pretty much guarantee I’ve had more “start-overs” than most anybody. You fell off the horse :racehorse: at least the horse didn’t kill you… this time…. Get “in”volved it gets less difficult! O2-28-2OO2

It takes time to find your sober community. Keep working and if you can find even one solid sober support it will help tremendously!

Forgive yourself. Today is a new day. It's not easy to quit. I've heard many say it took them many attempts. I'm on number 3 and hoping and praying I can stop for good. I know I need to find support. Maybe you should too. If you need to talk I'm here.

I’m on day 1 just like you. And I had 12 years not too long ago. I don’t have a sober friend in the world and I’m feeling lonely and depressed too. I definitely know you can get thru it tho

I drank after 23 years, now I have 4 months and by sharing I help so many people who may want to drink again!!

Don't be ashamed. Shame is what keeps us drunk and stoned. Acknowledge all your faults and make peace with knowing that they are what makes you human. The human experience is tough. We got enough stuff to battle with. Being ashamed at being imperfect should never be one of them or else you'll always be disappointed. Pick yourself up and give it another go. This time, find positive ways to embrace the areas where you feel like you come up short. If you're trying - it all counts!
