Saying hello to everyone
This is my first post and I have completed my fourth day of no drinking. It may seem that 4 isn't significant, but I have tried so many times to quit before and I never made it past the third day. I always convinced myself that I was fine. "See, I have gone three days without drinking. I don't have a problem if I can do that, so let's go out for drinks."
Anyway, I feel so strong now; something triggered in my brain and I am quitting. The first couple of days were hard (and still are) but each day of not drinking is practice for the next and makes the next day easier.
I know why I started drinking so much (no real hobbies or interests) but I am working on that too. I am in such a good place right now and happy that I took the plunge to make this first post.

Hi Amber,
Congratulations on Day 4!!!
This is the first time I tried to quit and I know what you mean about something triggered in your brain. I feel strong that I will not drink ever again. I am actually starting to like and respect myself again. I feel good physically and mentally. I never want to go back to my old self. Keep up the good work!!!!
Hugs,
Pepper

Welcome Amber78 
Every clean day is a successful (and significant) day, no matter what else happens. You can do this thing. You will never regret a day you didn't drink with the same intensity that is possible for days when you did drink.
Being sober can only get better, being drunk can only get worse.
One Love, One Heart,
Tony
