Hi Everyone,
I am new to this app. Today is day 1 for me for what feels like the 10th time this year. My longest streak was 44 days. I felt amazing but falling off that pink cloud is so dangerous! That moment you think you're in the clear and then boom here comes rock bottom again. I kept telling myself that I can wait until after the new year about why wait? My hope is to go through the 2 weeks of "detox" now so that I can start my New Year clear headed.
Hi Christina! Welcome! There’s no time like the present! Do you have some sober people that you can reach out to when you’re feeling wobbly?
Hope you can make it. Glad you giving it your best. Never to late to stop.
Hi Jenn, I have a couple people that I can reach out to. They are sober but only because they don't like drinking not because of alcoholism. I've tried AA meetings and I just don't think I'm there yet. I know it's important to have a community and I'm hoping a platform like this will be helpful.
That’s good that you have some people. Talking to other people who get it is next level magic. There are a ton of non-AA programs: The Luckiest Club, SMART Recovery, Recovery Dharma, Women for Sobriety, to name a few. Community is huge in maintaining sobriety. Loosid is helpful, but working a program will get you moving in a good direction and growing.
Thank you for the recommendations! I will definitely check them out. I know I can do this The brain is just a crazy thing as soon as you feel good it makes you think you can drink like normal
Yea, it’s wild how it does that. That’s why I like attending meetings with newcomers, even with over three years, it’s a good reminder to hear where I could be if I decided to drink again.
Welcome Christina, Today can change your life. Don’t drink, go to a meeting and ask for help. We never have to do this alone…in fact we can’t do it alone.
I can’t
He can
I think I’ll let Him
Don’t dwell in the past, and worry about the future, just concentrate on the now. This is a day by day challenge. You can do this.
Welcome sister. I got it I’d you want it.
Welcome, Christina, and don’t be discouraged. I have a shoe box full of chips and two 1-year chips, and here I am on day 108 just in a little boat in the middle of the ocean, paddling away, day to day. I hope your time with us here is helpful. 
Welcome… great people on here !!! I’m so glad you have a support system of people that don’t drink … that’s huge for recovery!!!
Welcome I am a newbie too!
Good morning Christina! I will send strength and prayers for you to join us in welcoming the new year in sober. Happy and free. I know for me, if I drink, ever again. It won't be 3 beers or 2 classy glasses of wine. It'll be risking my health and life!! Stay with us girl! Congrats on day 1, let's goooo!
Hello and welcome. I have so many day ones I can't count them. Keep on trying until it sticks
Welcome to the app. I'm pretty new here as well. Seems like a good place to bounce ideas off people and meet others in recovery. Welcome
