3 days sober!!!

I went to AA last November but was never really committed, convincing myself that I had achieved an adequate style of living. Since then I have lost contact with one daughter, another doesn't believe a word i say and my third has lost patience. I REALLY want to turn my life around, YES for me but for my partner and family.

Hi Nawneet,
3 days is better than NO days!
Well done!
Now read, read, read.
There is more experience, strength and hope on this forum than anywhere!!!!
Go back to AA if you have no objection for some face to face support.
The family will be yours again when they see you trying and succeeding.

Welcome to the best recovery site everywhere! Congrats on your three days. Take it one day at a time. Don't drink one day at a time. When tomorrow becomes today, do it again. You can do this! You'll find a lot of support and useful info here.

It sounds like you have a lot of good motivating factors. I, too, am hoping to earn back the trust I lost from others. I have a lot of work to do but I must believe that my resolve to not die has to remain at the forefront of my thoughts at all times. Good luck.

Congrats on the 3 days and welcome!! There's more recovery options aside from AA. Make sure you get all the support you can get because it really helps - especially in early recovery.
