Hello
I have been sober a little over a month.
Yesterday every second thought was about how great getting drunk would be. It was Saturday, I had no commitments the next day, I was feeling great. As I was almost out the door to the liquor store, I googled something along the lines of "I don't want to drink tonight", which lead me to a thread here.
Even though it was directed toward somebody else, the support from posters on this forum was like a life preserver grasped by a drowning man.
Anyway, it's the next day and I am still sober. I had a great time in the garden without a hangover. I jumped in the car and didn't worry about driving drunk. I didn't embarrass myself.
Thank you guys for being out there! I think I will stick around.

Welcome and congrats on a month!!! The thing that gets me through when I have those urges to drink is I remind myself firmly that tomorrow I will be glad I didn't drink today. I can honestly say there has never been a morning when I wished I had drank the day before.
Keep coming back and hang in there one day at a time.

Welcome and a month is great! It's interesting what we all Googled to find this site. Read and post around If you want to know people with same stint of sobriety as yourself with daily support of each other, you can post in the October class 2015.
