Wow what a journey. I made it 111 days back from Nov-March. It felt great. My goal was 100 with the hopes of continuing my sobriety. I went away to Florida and the second my foot hit the sand I broke my streak.

My day 1 was yesterday. I’m ready to give it up for good. Literally any negative part of my life has been caused by drinking.

I’m scared. I’m going through withdrawal.

I’m 33 and have been drinking heavily for five years.

I don’t want to die.

Thanks for listening and for welcoming me back.

Well done for coming back! Have you visited your doctor to discuss withdrawals?

Welcome back. What's the plan?

Welcome back RUL23.

Well done for day 2. I guess you know what to expect now and try to remember that things do get a little bit better as each day passes so hang on in there through these first few days.

I've got complacent myself in the past when I've just got past 100 days, more than once.

Good luck to you.

My biggest fear is failing at some point. Which is why I truly believe I set my goal at 100 days, instead of for good the last
Time.

I haven’t seen a doctor regarding the withdrawals. I am feeling a little better as each hour passes.

Right now it’s anxiety and shakes.

I'm on day 1 so you are a day ahead of me! Way to go!

Well done getting back to day 2 RUL. You were doing amazingly well and I know you can get back there. Take care and keep an eye on how you are feeling. It might be wise to see a doctor if you aren't improving enough. Stay close xx

Feeling better. I think I’m out of the woods for withdrawal. Luckily.

Going to rest the next few days then slowly pick up exercising again.

I’ve never met someone who became sober that regretted it. But the wishful thinking that I could enjoy life with booze it no longer lingering. At least I hope not.

Does it really get better? Sober living? I live in NYC. There is a bar on every corner.

NYC - a bar on every corner sure - but you know they sell booze everywhere you go right? From Maine to Cuba you can get it if you want it.

There's more to do at your fingertips in NYC than maybe anywhere else in the world. Sober life gets better every single day. No better place to be sober than NYC.

Good point. I appreciate that.

Welcome Rul- a little fear is a good thing, but I find I need a leveler- a professional person (counselor/psychologist/GP) to give an objective eye on me.
Support to you.
