Smile Back on track

Good Morning, Im a newcomer to your site, but a long time drinker. I had 10 years sober, fell on my backside for a year & a half, got nearly 6 months sober again & then tried to have "just one"! that lasted 8 days before I committed myself to detox & am now on day 3. A close friend suggested this site as a wonderful place to find "My People" & I surely am glad to be here instead of out there! It's a great feeling to know that I can potentially reach out when ever I need to find someone who understands!
Thank You All,
Keyweird

Hey keyweird!

Congrats on day 3 and making it through detox.

That was the same reason I came to SR. 24-HR DRUNK SUPPORT. I've been coming here for 5+ years so it seems to be working.

Glad you are here. Just found this site recently myself and it really helps. Stay strong, you can do this, just remember how great you felt sober, and how crappy you feel after you drink.

keyweird, welcome to SR. Congrats on day 3. I love this site exactly because I know these are "our people". I know that they understand me and that I can relate to them. In here is definitely better than out there.

Welcome keyweird!

I can relate to your story as I have had long term sobriety followed by a long relapse. It's not too late to start again. There is a good bunch of people here so stick around.

Welcome keyweird! Congratulations on day 3.

I had almost a year of sobriety followed by one drink that eventually cost me 3 1/2 years.

The moderation worked for about two months, after that I was back to drinking more than ever.

I'm back to 128 days now.

Your post is a good reminder not to try moderation again.

Without this site I don't think I would still be sober. Stick around and use the help and support everyone gives. It's the best medicine!
