Today Is Day One again for me
I just wanted to say that out loud, I have tried before and failed. I just wanted to be accountable for it so I posted on here as this is the only thing that has worked for me in the past.

Welcome Ed!
Day one is tough and remember it vividly as I was practically living on this site the first couple of days to help me through. It is now Day 6 and I feel great!
You came to the right place for support from an awesome community!
Best Wishes!

Welcome Ed. Or should that be welcome back? Either way... :ghug3
Day 1 is a good start. It does get better, although I'm sure you know that.
it's not how often you fall over, it's how often you get back up again that matters. And while it gets harder each time, all you can do is keep moving forwards, putting one foot in front of the other.
As somebody once said, "If you're going through Hell, keep going."

Welcome back is what I heard so many
times in meetings when someone left to
return back. To me that was a humbling
step they took to come back and share with
me and others how drugs or alcohol still
wasnt working out there in the world.
Each time I heard those words, it helped
me reinforced my own program of recovery
and kept me from going back out myself.
I felt like I was in the middle because I had
those that had yrs. sober before me staying
sober with a recovery program to help and
then there were those who went back out to
experiment. I certainly didnt want to go backwards
in my program and surely wanted to move
forward in the right direction to stay sober and
live a happy healthy life.
I held on each day not thinking about tomorrow
and not looking back, to stay in the day just
doing the next best thing which was to not
drink following all the postive suggestions to
guide me and help build a strong recovery
foundation to live upon each day and remembering
that I couldnt and cant keep my recovery, happiness,
if i didnt give away my own ESH to others that
were and are still suffering with addiction.
Using your own experiences of what your own
life has been like before, during and after alcohol
to help others and mostly for urself to stay sober
one more day.
The rewards and promises can and will come
true as you continue to live a healthy, happy,
honest life in recovery.
