Day 1
Well this is another day 1 for me... I can't tell u the number of mornings I lay in bed hating myself for drinking yet again! I get up.. Dump out the remaining alcohol-- vodka and swear this is the day I can maintain sobriety... I need more support.. No question about that.. I'm tired of hating myself !! I eat healthy and exercise almost daily.. Run marathons yet I secretly have no control over my alcohol!! Help!!

Welcome to SR. I, like you, am very athletic and did a lot of competitive athletic events while still drinking to excess. I am only on day 5 but I already physically feel better (although tired). Please keep coming back. I hope you find the help and support you need here.

Welcome Daisy. You can do this. Many of us had day one over and over again. This can be the day one that sticks for you. Joining SR is a great way to start doing things differently so that this day one sticks. Read and post here as much as you can.

Nice to meet ya,
I also eat healthy. I stick pretty close to paleo even though I have no control over my drinking habit. My exercise routine has been nonexistent for the last 6 years or so because it would cut in to drinking time.
Stick around and good luck. I'm rooting for you.

Hey Daisy, welcome, this is a great place full of wonderful people and great resources.
There is no not a reason in the world to ever wake up feeling like that again, there is literally nothing in it for you. Great start Day 1.

Glad to meet you daisy!
Yes, those first days are rough - but once they're over you never have to go back there. I drank for decades & never dreamed I could do without it - but life is so much better being free.
