New to this
Every day that goes by, I feel the cravings going down, but I need find different tools to get me through events that used to make me hide in the garage and chug as much as I can before going back in the house. I am loving this new life and new feeling of sobriety. I guess if it was easy to get over alcohol, there wouldn't be so many horror stories. I have plenty of my own, but it is so good to hear from so many others that either feel the same way I do, or similar. I know I have a long way to go, but anything is better than how it was.

Thank you. I am getting to the point where I can't wait for meetings and am glad to find this forum to "get my fix" on talking to other people. Reall cool how open everyone is and lending a hand in each other's recovery.

Gardening,sort of.....
Sunning myself.

Pleased to meet you, rPdopn. It's great to have you join the family.
When I found SR it helped relieve all the anxiety I was feeling. Whether I was just reading, or posting - it calmed my nerves to have something else to focus on. Knowing I wasn't alone anymore was a huge help. These people got me on my feet and have always held me up when I faltered. I hope you'll enjoy the experience of being here - and that it helps you on your journey.

Already am overwhelmed with support. It really is great to see. I am going on 3 months tomorrow and could not do it without my friends, family, wife. Very happy to see multiple resources to use at my expense to show and see vulnerability to such a powerful and enormous threat. I do have to laugh at the sugar temptations everyone has after quitting. My downfall was Smarties, and I am drinking soda, which I have not had in so long (except to mix with!) So many changes that are for the better!
