Just having you respond puts a lump in my throat and reminds me I have never done this alone, and I don't have to now. I have tried to be of service for so many years, and now it feels I can't help myself. Thank you so much for responding. I'm desperate.
If nothing else being around people who understand and who wanted to help me get better gave me some hope back.
I hope you'll feel more hopeful here too NewDawning
It all started with a day one for me - simple, tho not easy.
Achievable tho, with support

I have a feeling I'll be here a lot. I moved to an island about a year ago, knew no one, leaving all of my solid, sober support behind. I love living on tbe beach, but I think this whole island is drunk... it's started to feel normal to drink, where, for years, it was a poison. I need that mindset back.
you're never alone on SR

Hello NewDawning.
I just had a quick check of the statistics at the bottom of the first page in the forums. There are 169,000 people signed up to SR and no doubt many lurkers. Just now nearly 500 were looking at this sub-section of the forum (again the numbers are on the front page). As Dee said, you are never alone on this forum and that means in terms of numbers AND in terms of folk who can truly empathise with you.
Welcome!

I am so grateful...I had no idea anything like this existed. I'm not going away...I have been solid in recovery and am hopeful and willing to get back there. The days I don't drink range anywhere from uncomfortable to scary. This site is the best thing that's happened to me in a long time. Thank you, so much.
Hi and welcome, count me in and someone here and supporting you. I just had a relapse 3 days ago, I am back at it though, like you I want to live a sober life. How are you feeling now? Do you have alcohol in the house? It would be wise to go dump it now. I know that is a difficult thing to do, but you can do it. Stay close to us here. We are all with you.

Yes, there are 2 of those small ("single serving" boxes that claim to have 3 five oz servings) in my house right now. I am afraid of stopping cold turkey and keep cutting it down...a very difficult process. I don't have a lot of faith in myself today. I want to be done.
