Hello everyone
I am 28 days sober today and thought I would sign up. I have been reading this site for months and people's stories on here have really inspired me.
The longest I have been sober for about 18 years is 38 days, which I achieved last summer. Normally I drink every day; often until I pass out.
I had a 'situation' 4 weeks ago today where I tried to kill myself twice in one weekend. I was detained under the mental health act and nearly lost my job - typical of my life of drinking to be honest.
This time it has to work or I could easily die. I am dealing with the cravings so far but the loneliness of being sober is crushing.
Anyway, nice to meet you all. Peace.
