Howdy,

I am happy that I have made it 6 days sober today. I am new to this site as well and I am glad to be here. I find that every day I have to turn down invitations from friends to get high or drunk but I keep turning them down because I know I can do this. I am feeling better today than I have the last 2 days and I am excited to keep going. I know things will get difficult again but I appreciate the support of my partner and my new friends here. I really want to understand who I am as a person and since Ive been getting high and drunk since I was 15, I dont think I ever really got to know myself. I am looking forward to that part of sobriety. There is a lot to learn and a long way to go but I know that anything is possible. Thank you to everyone who is here and who wants to be something more.

good luck with finding yourself I can relate to what you are going through. You seem to have the right attitude you might want to re-evaluate the friends who tempt you to get high. If you continue to hang with them early in your recovery could make things difficult.

GOOD LUCK

I am 110 days sober.

Finding the real me after 40 years of drinking was scary as heck, well as I took the steps and learned who I really was I found out that I was not a bad person at all, even though I had harmed quite a few folks I loved as well as myself I found that being sober I was able to make amends to those I had hurt, the greatest amends I have made for them and myself has been staying sober and being there for them when they needed me instead of drunk.

I found out that I was basically are pretty good person that when I was not ripped was okay.

The steps were where I learned not only who I was, but also how to become the best me I can be. I am comfortable in my own skin and I am able to help others today, not only to find sobriety, but also to be able to be a good father, husband, grand father, friend and employee.

I no longer hate myself nor do I let my past destroy me today, today I use my past to help others.

I have found that finding ones self can be very painful at times, but in the long run it has been beyond rewarding.

I have no clue who I am, I am actually a bit anxious about that. Thank you for your post, and the replies that you received!
