Welcome to Sober Recovery Pink. Are you sober now, or are you still attempting to stop?

Hi and welcome, Mandy. Glad to hear you've already begun your sobriety and are on day 5! Do keep coming here. You'll find lots of help and support. Do you have plans for what to do aside from coming here?

Welcome Mandy! Congrats on 5 days : ) So what plan of action do you have for staying sober? I know in my experience trying to do it on will power alone NEVER worked! There's lot's of programs out there, but AA has saved my life and so I'll just throw that out there for you to consider. This disease is horrible and we have to fight to stay alive.

We're all pulling for you!
