I would like to join! I actually quit my doc, opiates, September 16. Day 47 here! However I lurked here for YEARS before finally joining last week and I have always wanted to join a class so count me in.
And I do need the support. I'm still struggling. Certainly not clean of all substances, just pills which I always thought was my PROBLEM. It was, but smoking massive amounts of weed to get through the anxiety of withdrawals doesn't sound like a non-problem, lol.

Welcome Novembers.
Just wanted to let you know you've found a fantastic, safe place to begin a new journey.
I am in the class of October 2013.
33 days ago I was a broken man. I was a twenty year, 12-pack a day (plus) drunk. I lived in a hole of despair, shame, guilt, regret, etc. etc. (a whole lot of etc.s!!!).
I had no strength to change. I had no hope.
Then I stumbled on to Sober Recovery.
One month later I am a completely different person. What seemed so impossible is now a reality:
I LOVE MY SOBRIETY! I see life from a completely different perspective on so many different levels. I could never ever ever have done this without the support and comeraderie of my Tober mates.
There will be challenges ahead. Staying close to SR and posting often carried me through the rough patches (and still does).
Wishing you great resolve (probably most important for getting kick started), great strength (to keep it going when you just have to grin and bare it - don't worry, it passes), and inner peace (to keep it all connected).
Please feel free to "drop back" to October and say hello.
Best to all!

I'm in.... 11/1 has a nice ring to it.
I have an attitude problem right now... sorta throwing a fit and mad at the world.
Wanting to blame my father who has been dead for years and died a sober man... he had about 18 years sober.
I wish I didnt get the drunk gene from him.......
I need to go pour beer out right now....

Good start Gall! 
My plan tonight is to do all the usual stuff I do when I get home until 8. Then, instead of drinking, I'll do hot bath, puzzle with daughter and cranberry juice with Sierra Mist, sleep aid. I'm fine until 8 every night. I just have to make it that two hour period between 8 and 10 when I manage to stuff down a bunch of drinks and smokes before I pass out.

Best of luck to you on the sobriety journey - take one day at a time, arm yourself with a good plan, and, above all, have faith that every sober day will bring you back authentic you and sunshine of life.
Have a great sober weekend!

Hi Novemberites! I quit with the class of September and I have 66 days sober. It was the best thing I could have done for myself. I feel so much better and my life is really looking up. It hasn't been easy but the support i've found in my class has made it possible. For anyone considering it, I say jump in - you have everything to gain.

Today is the day for me. Day one, no more. I've been lurking here for a few weeks waiting for the right time I guess. The time is now though. I can trace all of my problems to booze. Just happy I'm still alive to even begin this journey.
