Hi Stable,

I’m glad you’re taking steps to help you get sober. Were you able to get an appointment?

You should join the January of 2020 class, you will find others who have committed and recommitted to sobriety this month, and it’s a great way to build a support network. The January of 2016 class is the one the helped me reach four years of sobriety.

The 24 hour thread is another great place to go for support, you can check in each day.

I read lots of recovery books in the beginning, not sure how much free time you have with school, but there is a great sticky with a list of great titles.

I have found mindfulness to be another crucial part to my recovery, I work really hard to stay focused on the present. There are lots of apps and YouTube videos on this topic.

One last thing that really helps me is getting outdoors for a walk each day. The combination of nature and exercise helps me release any daily stresses.
