Joining a monthly sobriety class is a great way to start your sobriety journey!

I'm a member of the August 2009 sobriety group, and the support and guidance I received from others back then, who were in the same mess as me, was invaluable. It was a vital part of my recovery plan.

I've been sober over 7 years now, and still in occasional contact with a few of my old "classmates."

Just popping in to wish everyone committing or recommitting to sobriety good wishes. I am a member of the January 2016 class, and made many connections who helped support me on this journey. SR is a wonderfully supportive community, spend some time reading and posting. Looking forward to welcoming all of you, and celebrating your sobriety!

Awesome to see you zebra! Seven years - so proud of you. :)

I'm jumping into this class as a work in progress. Quit in 2009 with zebra's group. Didn't stick. Made half-hearted attempts to quit over the years since then, but for a wide variety of reasons I was usually pretty ok with my level of drinking.

Then I got a bit of a wake up call. Fatty liver. Seriously quit this past January. That lasted until Memorial Day when I had a follow up blood test (with great liver results), and decided I would be fine if I had a few while camping. Of course, that didn't work for long and it was creeping back to more days drinking than not. So here I am again.

During the past month+ of drinking again, it's really, truly sinking in that I can't be a casual drinker.

Best wishes. I don't know if I joined a class since when I came out of the hospital, things were chaotic and posting on here was a trigger for whatever reason. I would have been in the class of June 16 if I had joined. I'm 14 months clean.

Good luck to all of you!

Thanks guys - and welcome PC :)

Can I join the class please. Just recovering from a 2 week relapse and need to start again. I only had two beers yesterday (though was very sick) and hope to make August 1st my new day 1. Thanks in anticipation. Forwards.

Welcome Forwards :)

Hi guys, Day 4 for me. I had a drink last Friday after 13 I think it was days off. To be totally honest this was planned as I had an event on but didn't want to mention that for obvious reasons.

Anyway i'm already back to Day 4 and feeling great. With no social stuff planned for August..
Let's do this guys.

Welcome Sober - hopefully you'll get enough traction this time to decide not to drink at future events :)

Count me in please! Joined the site last week a bit late for the July class. Sober for 7 days today. Let's smash August!!!

welcome lilymaz

Back on day 4. Originally was in the Oct 2016 class until some self-sabotage took over.
Getting through at the moment and cleaning up my plan.

Race ya teaorcoffee, lets do this!

We got this.
 

Shining up my plan and planning to make this the last class I join. 29 hours here.

Welcome Sath. Sounds like a few of us are on the same path, ToC

welcome teaorcoffee & welcome Sath:)

morning. hi again PC. Congrats on 4 days sober81 and Teaorcoffee. Great news on 7 days Lilymaz. Hi Sath and Forwards too.

Count me in please. I had 3.5 years sober and picked up again last year. Tried a few times to stop again but with no success. I am determined this time and need to step up my efforts and do all I can this time.

Being in a class last time was instrumental in getting and staying sober. I'm on day 5 now and starting to feel a little better. The fog is clearing and my anxiety reduced. I need to be in a class with others going through the same thing where we can all help each other. :thanks

I am back in, i am on day 2 of detoxing so this will be my month!

we all can do this!

hope u had nice break dee x
