First post. 39 days.

Hi all,
I haven't had a drink in 39 days and this is the first time I've actually sought support to stay sober.
I've been to a few AA meetings and am thankful for those. We were hit with the flu so I missed a couple and was bummed about that.

Husband is still drinking which hasn't been tempting to me yet. Just annoying.

I'm doing good for the most part, but I know I have some emotional junk to deal with and I haven't started on that yet.
For now I'm thankful I haven't dealt with strong cravings and I believe this time will be different. It's the longest I've been sober since admitting I have a problem, and I just feel different. And I'm getting support, I can see how that is the key.

Thanks for being here. I look forward to looking around the forum when I have time to read more.

Hi LearningMama

it's meant to be based on quit date but you can join whatever thread you like, or however many you like

It's all about support
