Just wanted to say hi..

Three weeks sober today and finally decided to create an SR account. This is my second longest sober time in years. Had a 41 day run in Feb/March, felt great, said to myself, "I can have just one drink, right?" And the spiraling began all over again. I know now sobriety is my only chance and I'm ready.

Thanks! Yes, Scott I'll definitely be doing that. Still trying to navigate my way around the site even though I've been lurking for a little while. 😉

3 weeks sober is terrific. I think that was the point when I began to believe in myself and that, maybe I really could do this.

Thanks Anna! Yeah, I've realized this time will be different because I can't be a "normal drinker". I just have no "off" switch!

ClimbingOut - very appropriate name.

3 weeks is excellent. When we finally convince ourselves there's never going to be 'just one' we begin to move forward and heal. Took me decades. You're going to do it this time, CO. I'm happy you joined us.
