New - but ready
I just discovered SR about 30 mins ago and have been exploring the site. This is my first post. My first commitment. I drank last night and woke up feeling all the shame, guilt, and desire to quit that I feel after every night of drinking. I want to be done. I just need “morning me” to remind “evening me” how much I want to quit. I am hoping a support group will help “Morning me” to become just ME. All the time - me.

This is SO me! Morning me is amazing and motivated and ready to change and excited about all the things that come with it but I swear on my life, evening me feels like an entirely different person who doesn’t even know morning me. It’s so hard but I know I will be happier sober, and never having to wake up feeling ashamed and guilty would be so amazing. It’s up to us, and there is a lot of amazing support here. We can do it!

Hi welcome. I'm new here too, I joined last week. I totally, totally know what you mean. I have even thrown drink Down the drain in the morning with the intention of never drinking again, then find myself going to the shops in total panic in the evening. All memories of how I felt in the morning gone. I posted on here last week but only managed one day sober. I felt really ill Monday morning and I have not forgotten how it felt, so I'm two days sober and hoping for another sober day today.

We're so happy to have you with us, ANewDawn. Congratulations on your decision to change your life for the better.
I drank 30 yrs. & was completely dependent on it. I had no one to talk to about my situation - all my friends & family were social drinkers. Being here, where people truly understood, gave me the courage to let go of alcohol. I instantly felt less anxious & fearful when I began posting. You can do it!
