Well, I figured to start out fresh and declare this straight in the morning. Maybe when I get home I will feel emboldened by the fact that I posted this.

Here's to another Day 1. May it be my last

Hoping you find freedom. I certainly have and it is better than any drink or drug

Yes...this really can be your beginning of a sober future...
Do you have a plan in mind for how to accomplish this goal?

Forward is always the correct direction...all my best as you move on.

Congratulations on your decision.
Everyone here has had a day one. I have had many.

I do really hope this is your last day one. Things only get worse with alcohol. Make it stick. Do what you have to.

Best to you, and keep us posted.

Wake up and ask your Higher power to help you remain sober for just today. When you go to bed and have remained sober Be sure to Thank him for helping you. Tommorrow repeat that process again 1 day at a time do this. Minutes turn into hours hours to days days to weeks weeks to months months to years etc..
you can do it!

The road to tomorrow begins today.

Recovery is a blessed thing for me. I was a slave to alcohol, and now I'm free. Every day I'm thankful.

Wishing you the same.

Sometimes it is a tedious process......don't quit trying.

I wish I did have a plan Carol. I thought I had one for the longest time and for the most part it seemed to work. All of sudden I lost focus and let my resolve slip.

For starters I just want to get back to some sobriety and see where the next few days take me.

I'm still sort of stunned at how quickly all my old habits started to come back. Now I have the old cravings again but I will look past them and get to tomorrow.

I was usually okay on my many day 1's. Looking back I probably still had booze in my system from the day before. Day 2 was when the insomnia, sever anxiety/paranoia, numbness ect.... was felt.

Day 2 and 3 you will be wanting to look out for...

You can make it, torn. We're all right there with you. There is life after alcohol.
