Welcome, Stick around. There are plenty of people here to talk you out of it when the cravings hit. All you have to do is reach out and communicate.

Ha! January 3rd is my sobriety birthday, although that was years ago. Sometimes I wonder if I should actually call that the beginning of my recovery. I was miserable for the next 5 days, and shaky for 5 more after that, and then something happened. I actually view somewhere around day 10 as the beginning. But January 3rd wasn't any different than any of the other hundreds of days I had sworn off alcohol. It was just me getting out of bed with a hangover and wondering what to do about my drinking, no different from any other day, and no actual plan for how to do what I needed to do.

Great to have you here. I hope we can help.

It's so good to have you join us, MN. SR helped me to no longer feel alone - and that meant everything.
Congratulations on your sober time - that's wonderful news.

Hi MNfast.
So, you've already stuck with your decision for 14 whole days. Two weeks!
I would feel very proud of myself if I were you. Give yourself a good pat on the back.
Well done and stick around. SR is the BEST place to be.
Good luck and let us know how you're doing.
