Smile Day 1

Goodmorning everyone! I'm sitting here with some coffee, just taking it easy before I start my day. I feel better than I did last night, and I just want to thank everyone who posted a reply to me last night, I was in a really dark place and it's nice to know I can get support. That is what I love about this place, you can always find people on here willing to chat!!!
As I said before, it's been a while since I've posted here so let me give you a little update:
The longest I've been without drinking (sadly) is only 3 months. Those 3 months though were awesome! I want to feel that way again! So what ended that streak was simply - I thought I could handle it. I'd been doing good and we were going to this bbq and I thought "why not - I've been good" and well... we all know the tragic end to that story.
I also have gone back to school, which is just one more reason (to add to the many others) I need to stop drinking. I'm trying to better myself, and get a better job so we can have a better life - and I don't want to screw that up!
So today I'm having brunch with in-laws, then I'm coming home to do som chores and homework - it should be a good day!
Thanks all for listening - I hope you're doing well!!!

You sound to be in much better spirits this morning! Welcome to Day 1!
Many of us check in each morning on the 'Don't Quit' thread - helps us to take it a day at a time, and we remind one another that we won't quit! We'd love it if you would join us.
Don't quit before your miracle happens!

Glad to see you back on track! Not everyone is so fortunate. Whatever you did before to achieve the three months of sobriety...do that, and then some!!!
