Hello, just joined the website. I've struggled with alcohol for a few years now, got progressively worse as the years went on.. drinking every few days, to then every other day to now everyday. Beer and cider mostly my drink of choice.. starting to affect work, my relationships and my mental health. Nearly 21 hours sober now.. struggling but want to continue. Sorry i am terrible with words. I just really wanted to say Hi and I'll see you all around

Hi and welcome to SR. I’m relatively new to the site too, and to sobriety (day 6!) and I have found these forums immensely helpful... so many things where I thought I was the only one who felt or behaved in certain ways, and here is a nonjudmemtal, honest, sympathetic community of thoughtful and kind people. I found the first 24 hours to be the hardest so I’m not sure what you’re going through, but I hope you can stay strong and we are here for you!

Welcome Purgings. By this time, you're on Day 2 and on your way to your new life. You'll probably have a rough few days, but stay close to SR. Read the threads. Post if you need help or want to contribute. If you're in danger of picking up a drink, it's crucial to post for help BEFORE you pick up. Someone (or lots of someones) will be around to help. Hang in there. You can do it.
