Glad you are here this morning! I could have easily written your post ten months ago. I battled with myself for several years alternating between periods of sobriety and failed attempts at moderation. I am closing in on ten months sober, and I feel so much better physically and mentally.
There are many different paths to recovery. A few good links on here Re the 24 hour thread, you can make that daily commitment to remain sober. Also, the monthly threads, you should sign in to the October 2016 class today and you will find other who have also decided to stop drinking this month.
The first few days can be a little tough. For me it was important to plan out the time I would normally be drinking. I read, exercised, took my kids to activities or to the park, took baths, binge watched a few Netflix series.
Stick around here today and read and post as much as you need.
You can do this!!!
❤️Delilah
