Yes, Dusty!! We got this! I love all the support on this site. Thanks Dee! I also was not able to see the moon! Dang it ;(

Hey Sober! So proud of you, i know how hard it is starting and then falling down. I think it’s not important how many times you fall down but that you don’t stop picking yourself back up and trying.

I hope that your day goes amazing, and I think that this quote from Jon Krakauers book “Into the Wild” might help everyone get through today with a little positivity:

”I read somewhere... how important it is in life, not necessarily to be strong, but to feel strong.”

Hey Darlad!! I feel the exact same way! I’m excited to make these changes this month.

Afternoon everyone who joined x

day 13 on the no smoking and will be working on the alcohol aswell when i am ready.

will check in later to see how everyone is. xx

Welcome February. Day 10. I fought my first real cravings yesterday.

This is Day 5. I had an epileptic seizure this morning - not alcohol related - so am having a nothing sort of rest day, just lying on the sofa, eating, watching TV, being on the computer.
Doing nothing is allowed today. But whatever, I certainly won't be drinking.

Good morning Feb Friends!

Taplow, sorry to hear about your seizure but yes, enjoy your day of relaxing and recovering.

Dusty, didn’t see the moon. Keep howling....������...it’s way better than drinking.

Welcome all! I look forward to posting with you the entire month of Feb. Good day!

Welcome February joiners! I look forward to reading your posts and will be rooting for you all to make it through the month sober with grace, humility and positive milestones!

Good morning everyone! Welcome to the new friends!

I am on Day 18 and loving it! I think I've made it through the worst of it now. The nightmares are rare, the sweats are gone...the cravings come and go with certain small triggers, but so far have not been overwhelming or hard to fight off if I put my mind on something else.

To all of you just starting out: It is worth it. Stay the course. When you feel like giving up remember why you started. And make the next 24 hours count!

Hello,

I'd like to join this class. I've gone months and months without drinking, but I always seem to end up back at square one. I found this site and thought, the support perhaps might give me more tools to quit for good.

Thanks,
SU

Welcome, Spiraling Upward.....love that name!

Thanks Qn4 and thanks for the welcoming.

You see, I've already spiraled downward, so, I can only go upward.

I mean, I'm still in one piece, but I've got to get my $#!t together.

Hello everyone!

Back to day 1 for me, and it's going to be my last. I can't keep going down the rabbit hole. I'm going to post daily, work more hours and pick up a few hobbies to stay busy. Let's make February the month we fall in love...with ourselves!!!

:c011:

Hi everyone!!
Day 11 and it's been a tough one mentally, lots of cravings.
Hope we can all help and support each other x

Jumping in February class. I'm with you all. Let's all give each other the support to end the madness.

Welcome Darlad, Spirallingupward, Rebecc and Finalround :)
Sorry about your seizure Taplow...take care of yourself.

right on wildflower :)

Hi. If you all don’t mind, I’d like to join the February group despite my 1/29 sobriety date. Today is just day 4. Feeling pretty good; just tired. My drink of choice is whiskey, Canadian to be exact. I don’t have a bunch of wild and crazy booze stories, just too many empty bottles and too much wasted time. I think I’ve got more to accomplish than that! Hope to get to know everyone, take and offer support, and finally put this thing to bed!

Today was a bit rough, had an incident at work that spiked a lot of stress and insecurity which really made me want to say “Screw it, I’m not worth it, why even bother trying to quit drinking. Just get some wine and forget these uncomfortable feelings you’re experiencing”, but then I realized nothing would feel better than waking up tomorrow and being on day 4. Let’s go February! :)

Hi and thanks :)

Goodnight from sober me.

Work stress is a huge trigger for me, also. I’ve let it get to me too many times; drinking just absolutely will not help. Sober you will be better at your job and reduce your stress! Don’t let the stress win!

Hi, I'm new. Just joined today. Tonight will be my first night without drinking in a long time. I'd like to join the group. Do I join by just responding?

No drinks tonight. No drinks in February.
