New here and very happy to report I've been sober for 12 days. It's not my first time. But this time it has to stick. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired. Can you relate?

Congratulations on 12 day! My hope is that you are so sick and tired, that you've a hard bottom, and are so desperate that you'll try something new. It reads that you've tried to get sober your way, and have failed every time making a decision to pick up.
I had enough pain, I saw what people had (being happy, joyous, and free) and took some simple direction.I did the steps and work in order and as it was presented to me. It truly works.

Thank you 
Absolutely I can relate. I'm approaching 5 months and am still surprised by how good my body feels and how my mind continues to get sharper each week. But, be on the lookout for PAWS symptoms and have a plan for extra care on those tough days. Congratulations on your 12 days!

I can relate! Me I can to the point of me telling myself. MAN! I just so tired of relapsing! It all seems like the same thing every time it happens! Sometimes it’s worse. But the majority of the time it’s me drinking and acting stupid and burning more bridges that I thought that would always be there! Crazy how life is sometimes! Huh?

For me, it's isolating, not wanting to see anyone anymore. Bloating, gaining weight, looking sick. I can't anymore. I'm at 17 days and feel so much better already.
Yeah I just came off a relapse 62 days ago. Man it’s was all bad! Ended up in a medical emergency and then in a medical detox center! If the wasted time in my life would come back. I would definitely be a different man today.

Look at the future and stay strong!!!
I relapsed in September last year so I totally get it.
Took me months to come back into sobriety. Thankfully I am not drinking to the point of being hospitalized. So sorry you experienced that. But I'm drinking to the point my whole life become miserable. And you know what I'm fed up!!
I don't want wine.
