It’s crazy how many times I’ve told myself that “this will be the day I stop” after almost 2 years of saying that I’ve finally strung together a full week. This past week hasn’t been easy, my heads been in a spin, I’ve been so up and mostly down but I’m being hopeful. I keep hearing the first week is the worst of it, so hopefully the week ahead will be abit easier. If it isn’t I have tools I’m learning and some support. I don’t want to go back so I guess I have to keep going.

Yes, the first week is the hardest so congrats! While it's still hard it's a guarantee that every day gets easier! Many of us can relate to that mindset of saying this will be the day I quit and failing. But now you have 7 days and magic things start happening when our minds and bodies are free from poison. Keep going.

Great news. Definitely use those tools and keep on gaining new ones. I'm not very good with sticking to a routine but found that in sobriety having a healthy routine has been clutch.

It took me a few tries to get to a week of sobriety n guess what ? I'm celebrating nearly 7 months sober now !!! It does get better, hardest thing for me was "feeling" emotions again n not numbing myself w addicting substances .... best wishes, always !!

How are you feeling now?
Absolutely "feeling emotions".
Great job!!!!
Good for you! I know how impossible it can seem to go even one day, and how easily that can turn into years of drinking and pain. You can do this! One day at a time. It will get better. And one day, you will realize that you actually went all day, without even thinking about drinking. Hang in there, get to as many meetings as possible, and allow others to be in this with you.
