Day 1 is tough. You will likely doubt yourself. Make a 24 hour pledge to stay sober and then when you accomplish that goal do it AGAIN, then AGAIN.....before you know it your confidence will build. You'll soon start to feel better and you will realize that you DO have a chance to live a sober life.
Celebrate each small victory and soak up all the stories good and bad and take what you can get from each one to WIN!
I know I am only on Day 11 but at Day 1 I really never dreamed I'd be here today. You can bet I celebrated a LOT of small victories along the way. They start to ADD UP!
