Sober life is so much better...Get into a program... I tried alone for many years, and kept relapsing..

Good luck !

Welcome to SR and happy birthday! What a great day for getting sober.

I was like you - I knew that there were things out there waiting for me, things that I always wanted to do, experience and achieve, yet I knew that alcohol was holding me back. I'm glad you are determined to be sober - that's the most essential thing in all of this. Remember always that you can do it and believe in yourself 100%. Your mental health will improve more than you can even imagine - I thought I was going to be forever depressed and anxious and four months of sobriety has proved me totally wrong.

Wishing you all the best on your sober journey. Stick around, SR is a fantastic place to be.
