It all starts with today! Focus on staying sober today. Tomorrow, upon awakening, you can make that commitment once again. I find it easier this way. Regardless of how you go about it, have a sober weekend brother :pray::peace_symbol:

Doug!! Day 2, so proud of you. Keep it going. First couple days suck but DONT LET IT DETER you from the brighter picture. That’s the hardest part. The first week… PUSH through it and reach out to me or anyone else here if your struggling. Also like Jeff said. Make a list of ATLEAST 10 things you “used” to enjoy doing or STILL DO and do atleast one ESPECIALLY when your mind starts to play games with you (aka demon whispers) lol. YOUR A BAD A**. ITS all in your :brain:. Don’t let it trick you. Your more powerful than you think. :raised_hands:t3: Now go own this day!

Hi Doug: Try to view this as one day at a time. I know that it's a cliché but it really works! I've stayed sober one minute at a time once. However you can. Have others in recovery whom you can call. This is easier with others in the same process. Thank-you.

SAME! I am right there with you! I agree with you. This community has given me a place to go when I have down time (instead of fb🙄) which has kept my focus where it needs to be!
WE GOT THIS!
