Welcome and congrats on your sober time.

Like it's been said, many of us have to get used to living sober. Once I got past the initial shock of quitting, I was able to settle into a new way of life. AA really helped me.

It took time, but I can now enjoy my weekends without drinking. In fact...I enjoy them much more now that I'm sober.

For many of us, it took a long time to get sick. It takes time to get better.

One thing that helped me in early sobriety was to write a list of things I'm thankful for.

Wishing you the best as we head into the weekend....keep coming to SR for support and help. There are many of us who use the website on the weekend. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! KEEP WORKING AT IT!! You can be an inspiration and help for others who share your struggle.
