30 days today!!
Hi all, this is my first time starting a thread on SR even though I have been on here a while now.
After about 5 years of drinking heavily I had to call a halt to it all. My drinking was so out of control and no matter what I just couldn't stop. I was terrified of being sober.
Thanks to all the great people on here with words of wisdom and stories of encouragement who helped me through alot of the rough early days.
I know I have a long way to go (well, the rest of my life, to be honest), but the relief of not drinking is enormous. I still crave it, but it's getting better.
Thanks guys and gals!

Thanks you guys!!
It hasn't been nor is it easy. I take great encouragement from the people on here who have been sober for long lengths. I also take encouragement from all those, like me, are starting out on this long road.
Something my therapist told me yesterday....she says my sober life will be so much better than life as I ever knew it. In my own head I thought I would just be returning to life before I started drinking....and to honest not really looking forward to it (hey, if it had been that great why did I start drinking?!). It fills me with hope for a better brighter future.
Many thanks to all you kind people who have wished me well, this site helps to keep me sane and many a night I have hit the keyboard instead of hitting the bottle
