I may not have it word perfect, but that is a line from the Big Book that resonated with me big time.

Good morning all, day 2. Hoping to work on rehydration today and get more than some toast in me. Actually, slept way better than there last time i did this...i mean it was only 3/4 hours but, it was sober sleep at least. Hate the sweats, but not my first rodeo. Hope everyone has a beautiful sober day.

Hey all just a quick post to check in and offer support. Feeling a bit sad but not tempted to drink. Black coffee and water today. Wherever your up to take it easy, one day or one hour at a time. Keep sipping water, rest up. Take care xx

Dec 2017 is when I gave it a good go to start, JT this is when we met, it is also when I met Nichole from the same class who passed away Dec 2019, she became one of my closest friends.. When she died I thought I had enough emotion and reason to keep me sober, boy did I underestimate this addiction..

Be123 - I've followed your story and have great admiration for you given what youve been through.
I'm not on Day 1 but I hope in Dec I will put that drink down..

Hi all, so good to see so many familiar "faces". I am joining you all for a sober December and hopefully much, much longer. Day 4 today. Saturdays keep getting me lately. I actually had a rough time with AV last night on the way home from a super close basketball game, sigh. But I made it through... I ate blueberries all the way home, lol.
Praying to make it through today too. ❤
Love to all

I managed a warm bath, washed my hair, folded the clothes and cleaned up around the house. That's about all I can handle for today but am feeling good about it. I just made a cup of tension tamer tea.
I had to cancel a lot of my online lessons this week, just was so destroyed emotionally. I was honest with some of my more long term regulars and got some of the nicest messages of support in return. I do not talk about my alcohol problem, but I said I was feeling very depressed.
I hope you are all hanging in there.

Tired.
That’s the one word I use to describe it. I really wish I could drink like normal folks, but I just don’t have that ability.
So that’s at least a couple of reasons I’ve decided this is the time to say I’m not drinking again, and I will not drink alcohol today.
We can all do this.

Anyway.....
.....so happy to see ALL of you. Massive hugs and faith and strength to all of you. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

But if we don't, then come the years where we HAVE to as the consequences are building horrendously.
And if we don't then....then come the years where we are trying to do this because someone else wants us too but we don't even remember what life without alcohol even is.
Sorry, I know that is hard to hear.
This is about saving our lives....even if it doesn't feel that way for you right now.
And it is about finding a truly happy life on the other side of booze.....one that is good because it is REAL and worthwhile, not the selfish place where I know I lived for so many years.
