This is the first time in 11 years that I am not hung over on New Years Day. This year, for the first time, I am admitting that I cannot drink without over consuming. It’s scary and sad but after all else has failed for the last 20 years, it’s time to try something different. Here’s to 2023.

It’s a great feeling right?! If you are not in a program of some kind I would recommend it. Sobriety is a we thing. The community helps keep us accountable and the added support is crucial. Congrats on the two days! That’s amazing.

Thank you. I definitely will. I am ready. That is what I have lacked. Always thinking I could do this on my own. I realize that in the hard times I need support or I will go back to my old ways.

Thank you so much Kevin!!!
Nice job! For me, choosing sobriety even if simply to avoid hangovers is definitely worth it.

It’s a good feeling to wake up without regret and knowing what you did the night before.
Realizing there is a problem is an important first step. Welcome here. You might go to a few A.A. meetings and see if you identify with anyone there. All the best to you in the new year.
