Okay I have started this post 3 times and I am not new to recovery but it has been a long time sense I tried. I got nothing to lose. I am tired of my life. I know that I need a babysitter and cheerleader. I think using this site as a added support and accountability. Some are sicker than others, well that is me. I want to be brutally honest with myself. I am co dependent, and am aware of alot of my issues. BUT I think we should start with day 1 I am a addict and I know I can change my life. but the question is will I? today is the easiest day day three is usually coma day. I need a simple outline for my day because idle time makes for depression and stinking thinking Let me post this before i end updeleting it

Lots of cheerleaders here!! I found day 3 really hard too. Stick with it, it gets much better with time. I think you have to be fed up with your lifestyle to get to the point where you can quit, so you're on the right track!

Stay strong, Summer. Keep posting, listening and returning. You can do this.

Simple outline, Go to AA/NA meetings and do not drink inbetween

That's one path, just be sure you explore all paths to sobriety before committing to one just because it's the most well known. Just something to consider.

When I worry about idle time and getting to that thinking that tempts me
I clean, I read, I post on here, I read posts, I call someone ANYONE that won't
tell me to use, I want the dog, I do homework, I find a good movie, etc.

Maybe make a list of things that you can do if you are having a tough moment.

Welcome, you will definitely find lots of support in here. I wonder what it is about day 3, that was hardest for me as well. I have 40 sober days today, and I owe a lot of it to the support I have received on this site.

Looking forward to getting to know you!
