Day 1 of sobriety about over....stayed in today and rested. I did have worries about my job and legal problems, but also read some on sobriety and looked into what it took to become a certified personal trainer. Tomorrow I need to visit my lawyer, gonna try an AA Zoom meeting ...read more and stay sober.

Had a smooth day today. Feeling happy, and very thankful that I made the decision to give sobriety another go tonight. Still formulating my plans of what I can do to make sure I stay stopped.
BASEjumper, glad to see you post tonight. I was hoping to see that. Good job getting thru day one and putting the second under your belt.
I'm sitting here thinkin about day one, and how bad I don't want to go through that again. Or even worse not making it back for another day one.

This is your chance to do things differently from here on.
Just my thoughts.

Good morning Day 5 here. Feeling less anxious and sleeping better. What a difference there is in real sleep! Yes I can go to sleep without the assistance of wine.
Years ago when I finally quit smoking I used to joke that I was an expert in quitting, since I had done it so many times. I just hadn't learned how to keep it that way. I feel like that right now. Quit so many times but in the back of my mind I always thought "just until I can get in under control so I can be a social drinker" just as I thought I could just smoke occasionally. I know that isn't possible and my body is screaming "enough!".
So excited to see my garden doing so well. Can't wait to start harvesting.

I am in as well. Day 1 for me. My husband called a local rehab place for me today to gather some information and tomorrow I'm going to call them to do an intake interview in the hopes of doing their outpatient program. It's scary but what I'm doing clearly isn't enough.

I'm in 
Day 1 for me I guess because I'm pretty sure my last drink was just after midnight on June 2nd.
Today was a good day. I finally managed to completely clean myself up and deep clean the house from my 2 week bender. Eating again just fine. Very tired though because the insomina is very much a thing. One day at a time.

Why not, I'm game too.. glad to be here clear minded and still determined as ever!! Told my therapist yesterday about my fall from Grace again and let her know all what I was doing different. She actually gave me a compliment and said I was finally headed in the right direction!
