New Day
I just went into the Chat Room, undecided about making today my day 1. I met someone dealing with suicidal thoughts and I suddenly felt like such a wimp. I think I have so many prolems to justify my drinking and then I meet someone dealing with the ultimate problem. Well, I just decided to quit drinking as of today. I poured all of my Jack Daniels down the drain and now I am going to get ready for work. I just realized i have to get my head out of my butt, stop thinking about myself, and start thinking of others. I hope this inspiration gets me through today. I know it's not going to be easy. I'll check back in tonight.

Welcome taps -
Congrats on day 1! It's so easy to put off getting sober - I did it for years, drink by drink. I finally told myself: Might as well do it now and get it over with so that you can get on with your life. Best decision ever!
Come here and read every day - it will keep you focused. And thanks for the post.... I needed to think about what I have to be grateful for today.

Welcome! This is so true. With all the suffering of others, if anything we can draw positive inspiration that can hopefully save others and our own lives as well. This is super hard but attainable to be sober!
