Was going to drink... But thought of ya'll!!

I'm new here, on day 6.

I really wanted to drink tonight.. Was sooooo close.

I kept thinking of ya'll and all the supportive people, struggling people, and successful people I've met here in the last week.

It was another good reason for me not to drink.

Thank you


Anyone else experienced this?

Sure

Not wanting to let people down was a big factor for me initially, then it became inspiring to read what other people went through and still stayed sober.

Glad you made a good choice Chilly

Awesome, Chilly Mostly it 's the support and inspiring stories here that have kept me sober, too.

Hi and congratulations.
Use whatever works for you. I learned that I was getting sober for myself and that became the #1 goal.
The bottom line is we just don’t drink one day at a time in a row. There is far more to it than that but that is an excellent start.

BE WELL

Always remember, you are one of us. So if you think you are letting us down, you are letting yourself down too.

Everyone has to do it for themselves, but nobody has to do it alone!

All of us against the addiction. Thanks for staying in the fight!
