I am done. Time to get well and healthy
I've been waffling for a while but really think I am ready to be done. Tired of worrying about my health and wondering every day just where I might be on this downward spiral. I want to be healthy and well again, to be happy and joyful on life's terms, to grow in fellowship with my Lord again, to make the last half of my life better than the first, to look myself in the eye each morning and be grateful instead of shameful and scared. I know it will be a journey and I am okay with that. I am ready. I am taking the early steps and embracing it. Hope to see you on the path.

I also use a devotional from Hazelden (the well known rehab in MN) called Keep It Simple: Daily Meditations for 12 Step Beginnings and Renewal.
Good luck in your physical and mental and emotional journey!
Welcome to SR where we are all at different stages in the process of gaining, and retaining sobriety. You have overcome the biggest hurdle, admitting that you do in fact have a drinking problem. Now that you have reached that milestone, you can really plan your road to a happier, healthier, more peaceful, sober life. I'm struggling myself, day 11 of being sober, so I understand fully where you are at this moment and how you feel. For all of us, we need to take it one day at a time. Don't give up on yourself and your future even if you relapse. Get straight back to it if you do. Just remember that at the moment alcohol controls your life . Don't give that power to alcohol, keep it for yourself! I'm trying to take back that power myself!
Keep coming back to SR. The very second that thought of drinking pops into your mind, open this application, no matter where you are, and reach out. Someone is always here to support you.
Good luck!

Congratulations on choosing to live a better way of life, ToBeHappier.
I know that active participation here on SR has been a cornerstone of my own recovery so far. (125 days) I highly suggest joining the Class of July 2016 thread found on this same forum. It's a great way to learn from and help others who are newly sober.
