Hi Southern and Alpine
I’m joining Feb. (also with January but joined last week).
just finishing up 1 week today and feeling good right now. Slight urge for wine earlier but I feel like I followed through with a plan instead of giving in which I’ve done for almost 2 years now. So glad I did not drink today.

Good morning. It's day 2. Had a slight blip bit feel better now. Going to head for a walk and start my day. Try to go easy on the caffeine today. Read some of the AA book. Do a little housework, maybe cook dinner. I did spagbol yesterday and it went down OK.
Have my court case tomorrow week so best behaviour is critical. Haven't heard back from the addiction services after ringing Friday so I'll contact them again today.

Welcome FF 
Sorry you drank again but this absolutely can be the complete fresh start you're looking for.
Do things differently this time.
Chase up all the leads you have - counselling, AA - whatever.

End of Day 79. Ran 3.5 miles at the gym and had a good dinner. Hoping all of us have a sober day ahead!
While going to the gym, I saw a small puppy alone near the community mailbox. Poor thing was running around here and there without knowing where it was. I went around the community looking and asking whoever I saw. Finally the owner came around and we went and got the dog, the owner was in tears and thanked me. Feel great I was able to help that little puppy.
Good night from Seattle!

Hi all,
I’m a member of the Feb 2016 class, and I wanted to pop in with a few words of encouragement. Today I am 6 years sober and I literally thought that was impossible. I’d been drinking alcoholically for all my adult life, and I gave myself every reason to do so…abusive childhood, my work was too stressful, I couldn’t trust, PTSD, etc etc….
By getting sober I learned how to face the demons of my past. I’ve changed my job, embarked on a new career, and have surrounded myself with strong, caring, nurturing friends.
Getting sober has literally saved my life.
From someone who had lots and lots of failed attempts at sobriety initially, my biggest advice to anyone who is rejoining a class after relapsing over and over again (like I did), is to try something new. If it scares you, even better. If you are anti- AA, go to a meeting or a 12 step retreat, if you have tried AA, then try Rational recovery instead and read the secular forums here. Befriend people who are living full happy sober lives. DO WHAT IT TAKES and that means taking a leap into something uncomfortable and unknown.
it really is worth it ❤️
