Not sure what I'm doing or how long this will last but I'm on day 3 and I know if I stay away from SR I don't get much sober time at all, so I'm here and I will take this one day at a time.

Hello! Day 1 for me. I found this site a few weeks ago when I was confronted with my own issues while dealing with some family members problems. My step son and my brother are struggling and as much as I say that I am a normal drinker, I have too much wine. So here I am. Facing my own issues.

Welocome to everyone committing to sobriety this month!! SR helped me get sober and stay sober for three years and three months (today). There is so much support on this site, read and post, and reach out when you're struggling.

Looking forward to seeing all of you!!

❤️Delilah

Hello to everyone. Day 1 for me. I do not drink everyday buy once I start I become a runaway freight train. I'm here to learn and hold myself accountable so that I can avoid slipping up in the future.

​​​​Day 4, didn't sleep well at all, feeling very agitated at work today, hoping I will get better sleep tonight.
Hope everyone has an awesome day today.

One week down. I feel like I am on a roller coaster of energy now. I was fired up and feeling great this morning. Now I'm crashing pretty hard and feeling exhausted. And all I've done is sit here at this desk all day.

This weekend I start a family vacation, and vacation has meant drinking to excess for me in the past. Preparing myself now.

Day 3 here. 3rd month this year I've been in a monthly thread. Did not last long the other tries. Had about 30 days last year. Something seems to have clicked but still prepared to fight the cravings which seem to get stronger every time I try to do this.

Got to a point where I drank pretty much the same as always but hangovers and withdrawl symptoms have gotten progressively worse. Shakiness, pain in back and legs/arms.

I've moved quite a bit for work this last year and drank pretty heavy every place. Mentally, physically, and spiritually it has taken its toll and brought me to the place where I cannot justify continuing on this path.

Glad to be here.
