Today is day 8, and I would like to join this group. I was in the March group, but wanted to start here for more support. I am a 34 dad, husband, and professional. This is not an easy journey, but I have to stay sober. God Bless.
Keeping it simple!

Hi all,
Just wanted to welcome you to SR. I'm from the March group. I've kept a fairly low profile and don't post much, but I read every day, even twice a day. It has been a fabulous resource to keep me on track and i'm now thankfully celebrating 28 days sober. Good luck all, use the site as often as you can, particularly in those weak moments. It really does help to make you stop, and think for a minute before proceeding in autopilot to the bottle shop and the first drink.
It's not a walk in the park..........but nor is it a stumble in the gutter.

Just wanted to send strength and words of encouragement for all of you quitting. It really is worth it and you CAN do it. I'm coming up for 4 months now and life is so so much better than it was.Stick with it and you'll be ok

Hi all, I would like to be a part of the April group. I have struggled for some time now with alcohol and have been unsuccessful with quitting on my own. Will post more later, but wanted to sign up now. Looking forward to getting to know everyone and helping one another! This is just too hard to do on our own

Just getting dinner ready for my visitors and no wine while cooking, drinking hot water in a pint glass. this is a change for me as I always had a glass on wine on the go while cooking especially on holiday weekends. My visitors are brilliant as one of them is a reformed alcoholic and his partner never touched the stuff. So no booze in site just plenty of good irish grub.
WELCOME ABOARD APRIL FOLK.

Can anyone say that the daily obsession and craving for alcohol goes away with time?? So tired of it always creeping into my head! I have a 3 year old daughter who I want to be healthy and happy for, mentally and physically.

Your post reminded me of something I have oft heard: "When you are in the gutter, the curb is your horizon." Here's to getting onto the curb, from which the world becomes your horizon, Pamel

Hi Everyone -
I'm in. On Day 3 right now.
I'm 33 years old, male, professional. Been drinking since I was 14, heavily for the past 4 years or so. Have a lot going on in personal/professional life right now, some a little scary, but I think that needs to be even a stronger reason to quit now. Because when I drink, the fears don't go away, they just get postponed and come back twice as strong the next day.
So I'm here. Thanks for including me.
