If your struggling to get your 24 hours sober I think detox and rehab will be a good start for your recovery journey

Remembering that sobriety is the goal and knowing that it's better has helped me.

Thank you! I’m nervous to go I feel like i would go crazy

I personally decided to go to detox on my own. It was a good decision

#6

The tip that was giving to me was “no matter what, just don’t drink”. Most of the times it’s east but there have been times when that was hard.

I am living alone snd work to support myself. I took a week off work. Went in Friday night and was anxious. But they help you with anxiety.( I struggle with anxiety). They were great - people so supportive. Went home Sunday. Been sober since with a support system and AA. I am still new but feel so much better today

That’s awesome, I think I will do it. I also struggle really badly with anxiety. So im hoping to finally make it this time around

Being a part of this community made me understand that there is no real substitute for help. But also learned to help myself by understanding the when and why I drink and trying to adjust that pattern. For instance I live alone, noticed I would stop at the liquor store on the way home from work and get something to ease my boredom one I got home. Now I try to find things to do to spend less time at home after I get off. Not an absolute solution. But it really helps

That’s mostly with me too when I get off work I stop and get some wine to ease my Boredom. And I always have the intentions of having 2 glasses. But then end up bingeing

I do also. Don’t know your situation. But finding ways to keep occupied can leave less time for boredom and drinking. Theoretically. Lol. Working that same issue also

Just focus on today and getting through. Relax and keep your mind busy. You’re not missing out on anything and it’s okay to do nothing.

I WAS 23 WHEN I GOT SOBER. WENT THROUGH 40 MONTHS OF DRUG AND ALCOHOL TREATMENT. ... today I'm in year 36.. it was really tough what I went through. It was all WORTH it. The DREAM. THE STRUGGLE. AND THE PRIZE. EMBRACE the process of RECOVERY and you will make it. YOU ARE WORTH IT
