Just wanted to make a first post saying thank you to all who post stories. I will hit 3 months on December 29th and frequently feel like I need just "one" drink. Never went through huge withdrawals and feel blessed by it. I was on the verge of losing everything I loved before I went through treatment for 2 weeks and found God and the Bible. Journaling has also been a perfect way of looking back to where I don't want to be again. The quote that sticks in my mind is "You're not who you could be and you're not who you should be, but you're not who you are." I am finding myself doing "firsts" that I used to enjoy in the past intoxicated. First time barbequing sober, first time with family sober, first time going to sports events sober. Learning I can still have enough fun while I surround myself with support through hard times. Again, thank you all who make this happen. It will definitely help in my recovery.
