I've never been to a meeting so I really have no idea, June 
I'm glad you're thinking about support tho - I think it can really help to have people who understand and numbers to call when you need to

Hi, hope everyone's doing well.
Day 4 for me. I'll be going to work soon, so that will keep my mind occupied for a while
Then, possibly go along to my second meeting tonight, and also keep forcing myself to post on here and stop feeling the need to isolate myself like I usually do.

Good morning class - welcome to all the new guys and gals to SR!! Keep up the hard work, it will pay off. It's nice to be out of the fog and cherish that sober time.
Wow - i'm working on day #30!!
It's gone by faster than what I thought it would, but I stay ever vigilant and aware that my tricky little mind might try to start up that ole conversation. Ain't having none of that today!
Let's stay the course folks and lean on each other. Count me in as a friend who cares.

I *just* started Day 4... Thought I had posted here already, and it appears I did not, LOL!
So, thanks for this site, I have read my eyes out, and found some real truths and had some epiphanies along the way - thank you all for that.
I start a new job Monday, so So SO glad not to be drinking so I won't remember how to do it, and to let my new co-workers see the REAL me! YAY!
On to Day 5!

Still sober!!!! I am so excited. Day 30!!!!!! 
I have a huge pile of recovery books next to me. But it's more fun to post here. Actually I'm going to a meditation and dharma talk later tonight- nothing to do specifically with recovery.
Almay, Happy Birthday tomorrow!!!! :day1

I'm sorry to admit that I couldn't handle the peer pressure of my business dinner last night. I was out with the CEO and CFO (my bosses). We've had a huge problem in our business for the last two months and it's coming to a head. They wanted to let off some steam and we each had 2 glasses of wine. It seemed like SUCH a big deal to them that I was not drinking!... I came up with every excuse I could think of but in the end I was weak and caved in...mostly to deflect all the attention I was getting because of this stupid issue! Of course this morning I have a headache. I'm just so sick of these headaches.
I'm learning much.
I am starting over with Day 1 and now I suppose I'm in the October group.
Bless you all and I'm very proud of all who have stayed sober....and those that continue to try.

Hey, I can't count how many times I caved and kept spinning my wheels. The good news is today you are starting fresh again. You know how alcohol affects you, probably don't like that morning headache, etc.
I'm allowing myself only a few more minutes of celebrating. Guess why yet? Because I'll get to cocky and comfortable, in my zone, and that just might open the door to that tricky little trickster of a voice that will do nothing but tell me lies.
Soooooo - I'm only allowing you a few more minutes to digest caving in and drinking. Can't say sorry no more - nope!! It's over and done with, and you have today here with your friends who care about you and want nothing more than for you to put day one in your pocket.
