Welcome aboard, philly. Stopped drinking the evening I joined here. Been well over a year.

You'll find great support and experience.

Today is day 1...again. I have never tried something like this site, it's encouraging to hear from people about this.

Waaay too much and too often. Just found out I also have ADHD. The two don't work so well together.

Welcome to SR.
It really does help to talk with folks that have been in the same situation as you are.
I think one of the main reasons I have been sober for almost 8 months now is from the strength I gain here as well as home and the good Lord.

There is always somebody here to talk with

Welcome Philly this site will help you immensely I'm.a newbie on here to, i find alcohol loves it when my bipolar and depression play up they feed of each other, what helps me is exercise i went running today for an hour when i couldn't think of anything else but buying drink and then felt great then an hour later i found a can opened it took a swig felt sweat poor down my head so chucked it out then cleaned the bathroom
I'm.now exhausted and don't want a drink
The battle is constant but YOU will beat it. YOU will overcome it
Come on here when your struggling the people on here will support you and they know what your going through
Well done for expressing how you feel.on here you are not alone

There are many roads and tools to recovery. Rational Recovery/AVRT is what put the brakes on my drinking, forever. Here is a link to one person's using this method:

Here is a list of some other methods:

Here is a link about quitting and what you may experience:

Some use only one method, some use a combination of methods but we all have one thing in common and that is to stop the madness. To become abstinent and to live a life free from alcohol/drugs.

Best to you.

welcome philly.

You can do it.

Are you working a program?

This site is really a fantastic tool for me. Daily. It's been a really big help in my sobriety. But I don't think this site alone would cut it. I have to actively work on sobriety.

I also use AA - not every day, sometimes not even every week, but a community of real live face to face people I can talk to and listen to is pretty powerful for me.

And working on steps, writing things down, exercising, reminders of gratitude, reminders of all the evidence in my life that drinking isn't a positive for me.... all these are things that I need to keep at the fore in order to stay sober.

But holy heck, is it worth it!

Keep on posting, keep on sharing, keep on NOT DRINKING and take one step at a time.

You've come to a very friendly and supportive site. I hope our support can help you get sober for good.
