Newcomer Day 1
I’m new here and would love to join you guys in the November group. It’s the evening of day 1 and feeling pretty crappy. Looking forward to this brain fog lifting soon. This is not my first time going clean but this time I’m determined to keep it that way

Waking up early Saturday morning after 1 week AF feels really good. I'm not sleeping through the night and still have some ******* crazy dreams but at least I'm not waking up in a complete haze.
I've tried to quit multiple times in the past and it never worked but I honestly feel different this time. In the past, I recognized this was so bad for me that I NEED to quit. I'd get a few days AF and then slip back into drinking at home alone. However, after many tries at that I had a huge wake up call last week. While drinking alone, just sitting there doing nothing, I tried to be mindful of why I was drinking. It simply hit me like a ton of bricks. I realized I don't like drinking. I don't have fun drinking. I don't even like the taste of alcohol. I fooled myself for many years that I like the taste of alcohol but that's complete BS. It tastes horrible.
Long story short, I dumped out the booze, went upstairs and discussed with my wife. She thought I had quit drinking two years ago but I became an excellent secretive drinker. I explained that this time I WANTED to quit, not I NEEDED to quit. And I simply asked her to support me in this process.
Looking forward to a productive weekend. Good luck to the other classmates of November!

I'm just one week sober and November will be significant to me. My drinking has always gone from bad to much worse during the winter and November is when it gets wintry around here. It would have probably been easier for me to stop in the spring. But I just didn't want to go through another winter drunk.
I'm keeping positive, however. I feel very good and haven't had any physical withdrawal symptoms yet, which is definitely a blessing. I'm beginning to think that I'm going to get through it without having to deal with any serious physical cravings,..and I'm sure I can handle the psychological aspect of it.

Sober Saturday for me in my quest for an entirely Sober No-vember and for all the other months which follow.
Its been a Sunny Crisp Autumn day in the UK today which I have enjoyed out walking with my dogs.
Drinking still dominates so many of my thoughts but nobody said it was going to be easy.
