Welcome! Being sober for 5 weeks is really, really great! You should be very proud of yourself. Had you been drinking a long time? What types of things have you been doing to make it 5 weeks? Please share
You will find so much support here. Keep posting - I agree with Scolova - writing is good therapy. This time around I've been posting (for the first time ever on a forum) and it is making all the difference in the world.
I also do not have anyone IRL to talk to. My husband doesn't enjoy *at all* talking it out and my family and friends don't have any idea how I've been drinking like I have. It is comforting to know that you can come here and lay it all on the table and get support not harsh judgement. You won't feel alone. There are some very wise people here! I'm not one of them (yet
) I'm pretty new to sobriety - Day 5. But I'm sure lots will be by to say hello a little later today
Have a wonderful, sober Friday!
