Have to do this now
Hi,
I've just joined. I stopped drinking on 31 January after cutting back for some time before that.
I have to stop messing up my health and my life. I feel that if I can do a month sober then I can do it. And here's February, only 28 days.
I've been learning what my triggers are and what helps me to stay sober. Having a plan is essential for me. So is remembering it and making myself use it. That's the part where I tend to fall down. So I decided to join here to keep it at the front of my mind and stay motivated.
Thank you for this forum.
Good luck to all the other newcomers too.

Welcome to SR Zenna. Reading and posting here is critical for me. In fact, among other things, it's part of my plan. There is a wealth of collective experience and wisdom here. Please read and post often so we can get to know you.

Welcome! I have always checked in the 24 hour recovery connection thread every morning to remind me of who I am and I can't drink. I think it has helped me a lot. Best wishes for you on your journey!

Thank you all for making me feel welcome.
The 24 hour thread looks good, I'll post there. Probably good to do it after 8pm, since 4pm-8pm are the witching hours for me so committing to getting beyond 8pm the next day should be helpful.
Today is OK. It helped to think about coming here tonight and checking in. I'm grateful for the company and support.
