Hi everyone,
Lots of new people today which is fabulous. Welcome to SR geturfreakon
Hi Cuckoo, humbled, LHW, Owl, Chickchick,olyrunner,clones and palmersage
Hi Juno from the Dec class I'm in there too
Tang- my expectations used to be low but it does get easier and each day feel a bit stronger
I love that thought Nichole - I haven't had a drink this year.
Coming up to 9pm here in Scotland. Many people go out drinking today here too, as last night as tomorrow Jan 2 is also a public holiday in Scotland. I'm back to work Wednesday and looking forward to getting back to normal routine.
Hope everyone is getting through the early days ok. I've got sober before and it does get easier as new habits are formed and the early horrible physical stuff goes away.
Supposed to be eating healthily too but had a huge roast dinner and 5 pieces of chocolate. Ah well could be worse I suppose.

I'm on Day 1 and feel strong. I've made a number of New Year resolutions, but this is the biggest. Not my first attempt but it's so heartening to see those of you posting on here reporting anniversaries to celebrate. Only 364 more till I celebrate mine!

2018!
Hello all
I was a lurker on this site in 2017
And managed to stay sober for 6 months. Then I kidded myself I was 'OK' to have one now and again and be sensible. I ended up just the same (if not worse) I had a mammoth binge over Xmas and have just managed to come out of withdrawals. I had a small drink yesterday(why?!!) but hadn't drank for 2 days prior. So here
I am! One day sober and looking forward to the future.

I'd like to join your group also. I'm on day 2 and have no desire to ever be the person I have been in the past ever again. I will check in daily and will use your success stories and advice to beat this terrible addiction. I will never have another hangover the rest of my life.

On day 1. Was in last months class and that and AA helped me all the way up until day 21. Need your support so I don't fall again like last month when the misery or the early recovery is over and the boredom sets in

Okay so I’ve been lurking and debating about posting again........
But here I am back again. I’m getting ready to go to bed on my 10th day sober. My last night (Dec 22nd) I went to complete blackout and my husband recorded it. So waking up with a black eye, swallow knee and scraped up arm wasn’t the only embarrassment I had to face. My dh said he would forgive me and help me if I’d sit down and listen to his recording, omg!
I have to make sobriety a priority so I’m going to join this class. I’ve been in a fog, but it’s clearing.
Here’s to 2018!!!

Happy New Year!!
I would also like to join this group. Not my first time, but I'm still here trying. Feeling nervous because I have an appointment with a psychologist first thing in the morning. I have no idea what to expect. It's not going to be easy I'm sure, but I hope it helps.
2017 was not a good year for me, so I'm really hoping that 2018 will be the one.
Good luck to everyone!

Good morning all!!!
Just starting day 4. Back to work today after 4 days of leave. I woke up feeling very anxious, but so thankful for no hangover. I can really feel the benefit of not drinking now. I know it's only day 4, and there's still a long way to go, but I actually feel pretty good.
Normally each of my days off work would be spent in a drunk/ withdrawal cycle meaning that by the time it came round to going back to work I would feel absolutely dreadful. This morning I feel tired, a bit anxious, but bloody proud of myself!!!
I hope you all have a wonderful, sober day!
