Welcome to the Forum!!

The important thing for me was to stay connected with a circle of support, I would sign into SR each morning, and still do, to set my day up with a healthy reminder by reading the newcomer and my own threads of where I have come from and where I don't want to go back to.

Our minds are great at forgetting the bad memories, the novelty can wear off quickly and old ways can be just around the corner, if all we have to keep us motivated is our own minds, my own mind could convince me of anything early on in Sobriety in isolation, I therefore needed something outside of myself to give me a second opinion on things, when my mind was selling me all the reasons of the day as to why this time would be different!!

I needed a constant reminder of why would it be any different?!!
