Thumbs up Add one Early Sobriety Hint, to help new members...

To keep it simpler for those brand new to sobriety, please add a sobriety hint that helped you in the beginning...

(of course there are many, but I will start with one)

The first couple weeks, I told myself this:
"I already know what my life WITH drinking looks like...
So I am going to find out what my life WITHOUT drinking looks like.
And to really find that out, I have to abstain completely. No exceptions."

Of course pretty soon I didn't need to use that little trick, but the first days I tried to look at it as a curious social experiment. I was going through something else hard at the time, and I thought: doing something as terribly hard as not drinking will make me stronger as a person. And it did. Stronger everyday...
