Welcome, Jessica!
Glad you found us. This place keeps me sane and sober. I am 65 days sober and I could not do it without the help I get here. Congrats on not drinking. You made a good choice.

I'm glad to see you jessica. I am 5 days sober after 1 year drinking following 2 years of sobriety. One of the biggest pieces of humble pie I've ever eaten.

Im doing well Jessica. Thanks. Very up and down. Truly taking it one minute at a time sometimes. Harder to get sober each time we relapse but I really do want to be sober so I'm doing it so far! Very emotional up and down and hoping the roller coaster slows down soon!

Welcome Jessica. You're right - drinking only makes matters worse. I used it to cope with problems for years, and all it did was add to my anxiety & fear.

I'm glad you came here for support - it helped me so much to be with people who understood. The friendship & encouragement here is amazing. Glad you joined us.

You guys who have had years of sober time, then relapsed, then come back and are in the early days again are truly an inspiration. I have 24 days after no sober time. I've just been drinking progressively more for the past 20 years. I think that your stories are so important because you've seen both sides and you're choosing sobriety again. This inspires me to keep going.
