Got my 24 hour chip today! Only one day so far but it's a start!

This was Day 2 and I got my 24 hour chip at AA today. Everyone was so supportive and congratulatory that it just spurs me on to keep going. Even one day is a huge accomplishment for me considering how long I've been drinking. Can't wait for the next one! Thank you for all of the support here - it is really helping!

The first 24 hours is a real achievement. I am so glad you made the decision to stop drinking. Give it all that it is worth......sobriety is priceless, and I had no idea how much better life is without it. Good on you!

Your drinking days are over and you'll only continue to gain the experience and accomplishments by continuing to look forward like you're doing. One second sober is one second that you'll remember for the rest of your life. Keep up your progress and you're doing great .

I started in AA with the intention chip and felt much the same way you do. Between my home group and here I made it. You can too.

There seems to be some good support available to you IRL, and what happens there can make this good feeling go on. Sure is better than sitting home grinding through this with clenched fists, isn't it?

Great start.
