Day 15

Hi
I just wanted to introduce myself and say it's certainly nice to have another means of support.
It's a very difficult time and I look forward to talking with some of you.

Great to meet you, 10r. Those first days are rough - but you're doing this.
It has really helped me to be here & share my thoughts with those who understand.

Welcome 10r,

I also joined this forum after 2 weeks of sobriety. It has been a major reason I have been successful this time. I hope it helps you as well! There is some great advice here.

Hi 10r,

I was 9 days sober when I joined SR... Like so many here, SR has been amazingly helpful to me. Keep posting, read as much as possible about your addiction and form a solid plan... that's what has made the difference for me this time.

Welcome to SR 10r! Those first two weeks can be brutal. Read and post often, it does seem to really help!

Hi 10r, welcome and congrats

I'm on day 16. Happy to be sober but I'm all over the place today, mentally and physically. How are you doing?

There is so much support on here, a life-saver tbh

I'm still hanging in there. The cravings are still difficult though. Slight depression.
Honestly, I never want to drink again.
I lost so many friends over the years is one reason.
I have a good relationship and family lifestyle which I want to keep.
Finally, I never want to go through what I just did in these past few weeks again.

I'm going to start seeing a psychologist next week for extra support.
I do the occasional AA meeting once in a while too.
What really helps is I can finally be honest with my wife.

Overall, feeling better

Thanks all for the warm welcome.
