Welome to SR Justin!!!

Have you been to any AA Meetings yet?

I am a firm believer in AA and NA (for the addict) Both have been a tremendous source of support for me as well as SR.

Things do get better once you've gotten past the first early days where your thoughts are cloudy and hazy and you very well could still be going through some withdrawals.

Stick around, miracles happen every day.
God Bless,
Judy

Welcome Justin Congratulations on your sober time!

Right now not drinking might feel like something you have to "cope" with, something to endure. In time, however, hopefully you won't feel deprived anymore; in fact, you might realize that you are regaining your freedom.

Good luck, please keep posting

Hi Justin!

seems that everyone has to figure out for themselves the best way to work their recovery. Never the same for everyone. Glad you're here, sure you'll find lots of support

and hey, your avatar is exactely how I feel today........lol

Hey Justin, Day 4 today. Cool. You should start feeling a lot better now if you were going through any withdrawals.
