Hi!

I am so glad I found this site. Today was my first sober day in quite while. I can't believe all the denial and lies I have been living under. It is nice to feel some hope.

DAY 1 sober feels great right? I remember my first few days and was like "HOLY COW I've been sober for like 24 hours in a row!!" Keep it going and keep posting!

Hi Lisa and welcome,

I am still amazed by how much denial was going on with me when I was drinking. SR is a great place for support and inspiration, so keep reading and posting.

Thanks for welcoming me everyone,

I have been posting on another Thread and am trying to get this site down. There is a ton of incredible info and support here. Tomorrow will be day three for me. I came close to drinking this afternoon, but jumped on this site and tried to pray. Man my anxiety level was high and my kids were going bonkers. All I can say is thank god I made it through today sober and thank god I will wake up sober tommorrow. Oh, and thank god for this site! I realized today how much denial I have been in and how it can creep in so quickly!!!!!!!

Welcome to SR. You are in the right place.

Hi and welcome! Congrats on your sober time. Hang in there, you are in the hardest part IMHO right now. When the cravings hit put some sugar in your system such as a piece of chocolate or a tablespoon of natural honey. Our bodies processed alcohol as sugar so something about putting sugar in our system helps. Also, find something to do to get your mind off the craving. Log on here, pray, walk around the block, go brush your teeth, pick up the phone and call someone, put on some music and dance or sing at the top of your lungs. Just get busy and get your mind off of it and it will pass.

Hugs,
Kellye

We're on the same track! Day three for me, too. I'll check in this afternoon to cheer you on.

yeah new leaf! keep up the good work.

I am crying as I write this post tears of joy, and sorrow. The support from people who don't even know me, but know what i am going through is unreal! I woke up this morning at 6:00 feeling pretty good!!!! Day three baby! Yesterday was really tough but I made it through and feel stronger for it. I want to stay sober so bad this time. My family and I are spending Christmas in the FL Keys and this site is going to get me through it sober. Sobriety is going to be my Christmas present to myself, and to GOD, not to mention my family. I say this strongly because so many times I have let the negative creep in and I always end up drinking again. It sure was nice not to have diarhea this morning!
Thanks for the advice on sugar, I am trying to be easy on myself this time and eat what I want. In the past I have gone on a diet and quit drinking in the same day. Now that is INSANITY!!!!!!!!!!! Peace to each of you and thanks for taking a moment or two to offer your support, and prayers.

New Leaf, i'm cheering you on today!!!!!!!!!!!
