I’m once again at day one fighting really hard. All I can think about is going to get booze but we CAN do it. Say no and stay strong

Feeling the feels SUCKS but it does get better. For me at the beginning it was one minute at a time before I could get to one day at a time. Embrace the suck and let time take time. You can do hard things. It’s worth it.

Download the app Meeting Guide… it’ll show you meetings around your area, they have women’s only meetings if that makes you more comfortable

I know it’s hard. I’ve been struggling with sobriety for over 30 years. I’m not going to say easy. But if need someone to talk your mind. Just let me know.

Hang in there Blara, I too felt extremely bored with myself those first few days and when I sat still long enough realized there was so much sadness and grief buried. Take it 10 minutes at a time, find things you and your son enjoy to pass the time and stay on track, it will get better :heartbeat:

Hey Blara, going through the same rough cycle I feel like I’m always giving in to. Would love to talk and maybe have one another’s support to lean on and stay away from alcohol for good this time! Feel free to reach out!
