Welcome Kenneth!
When I finally began to look at it as something to get free from, that's when everything changed. I had been clinging to it for so many years - as if it was a friend that was helping me cope. In the end, it was destroying my soul & turning me into someone I didn't even recognize. I'm so glad you've made this decision. We're with you.

Welcome, Kenneth!
I've had a lot of Day Ones, a few of which led to fairly long periods of sobriety (over a year). I'm just a few days ahead of you at Day Six which I'm hoping will be the last Day Six ever. Just in case you falter, don't be afraid to come back here. There's no shame in it. We've all done it. Of course I'm hoping you don't falter, but these first few days are rough.
This forum has helped me a lot. I make a point of checking in here every single day, and posting at around the time I'd normally have my first drink has been a powerful distraction and reinforcement.
Good luck, man! You can do this!
