It's scary for sure. And hard. I'm no expert but it gets harder before easier. Then the clarity kicks in. And it helps get through those hard days. Good luck on your journey.

Remember the sweats.
Remember the insomnia.
Remember the hangovers.
Remember the shakes.
Remember the lost relationships.
Remember the money wasted.
Remember the shame and guilt.
Remember the time lost.
Remember that you are strong.
Remember who you are.

Welcome Maggie! It’s normal to be scared and struggle at first but just remember to give yourself grace and stay strong. It’s so worth it!

I’m trying to follow the Allen Carr book which is why I set a quit date and I liked that, it was a great way to start this. I’m okay for the most part, feeling a little icky today and working through a few things.

Your beyond 1/2 way there, just by trying! You got this!

Hey Maggie. I'm right there with ya. I'm still here after 16 &1/2 years sober. It can be done & you can do it, if that's what u desire. It won't be easy ,especially in the beginning, 90 days. But it does over time. And you will need help with this. So keep reaching out. Im here for you ,as I know others are as well. If you would like to talk more or just to vent & let loose, just let me know and I'll pass on my info to you. You can do this,please. Allrighty Then. Be well & stay as strong as you can each & every day, Chuck

How are you coping?

You will get it right ok, you got this :+1:

How's it going today?

Mine too. I'm getting ready right now to go to a recovery hospital for 3-5 days. I wish us both luck. Sending prayers

Keep your head up !!! You can do the is

My worst day sober is far greater than my best day drinking. I know that sounds very cliché but it's true. Kelle and Maggie, I wish you well. Stay strong. It definitely gets better

You got this! It’s always day one for all of us too. We’re right in the fight with you.
