Hi im new
 

Well heres a little of my story i used to drink about three times a week. I tore my asophagus was throughing up blood and ive stopped everything since, I dont use tobacco or even drink pop. Ive been working out about five times a week. I feel great but socially withdrawn ive been sober for a month and want to stay that way.

Hi rlube :)

Congrats on your month. Welcome to SR :)
You find a lot of support here, and ideas on face to face support too.

Welcome to SR rlube.:welcome
Congratulations on making it for the first month. I found that to be the toughest.
I think I may have damaged my asophagus too but I wasn't smart enough to quit then.
Hoping you have continued success.

Hi and Welcome.....:wavey:
I can relate.

I had esophogeal (sp?) varices ..required 3 transfusions
5 days in hospital and came close to dying.

I did return to drinking a few months later....the only change I
had made was quitting. alcohol. I needed more to stay topped.

All my social circle were excessive drinkers....I made a
living surrounded by alcohol....thus drastic changes
uncomfortable and frightening were indicated.

I took an office job...less money less stress

I told my friends I was attending AA....my apartment
was now a no drinking zone....most drifted away.

I found a new group of friends in AA meetings
who shared my goals and new lifestyle.
We did all sorts of things outside of meetings
had a blast....and together ...we stayed sober.......:a122:

Glad you are here with us....well done on your early sobriety.

Hi and welcome :)
