Thank you so much! It was such an awesome feeling knowing I could deal with the nerves, the people, dance and have the time of my life without the alcohol. If someone had told me a year and a half ago I'd be sober on my wedding day it would've scared the crap out of me.

Hi! Newbie here. I'm 22. I've tried to quit a few times since I was 19, never managing more than a few week. Earlier this year, I did six months but blew it away. Today's my day 2.

To be honest I find it hard, especially around friends, university buddies, etc. I don't really go out anymore. I can't really make friends on campus because it's all about HEY! FREE BEER! COME GET DRUNK TO CELEBRATE whichever event. I can stand being around people who have 2-3 glasses of wine, but when the goal of the party is to get as drunk as possible...

So it's refreshing to find a thread for young adults! Personally when I'm sober I notice that my budget is much healthier. I also tend to be a lot more physically active, I read more instead of just sitting half-drunk in front of the TV.

I'm 21, 22nd birthday is coming up. Just got into AA about 3 weeks ago after hospitalizations and having to take a semester off from college.

AA young people meetings have been great in my area. I've met a lot of college friends who have remained sober and I've found so much to do besides the bar and parties, financially I find myself with so much more money now haha. Let the good times roll

Great thread here, but I also passed those younger years, many years ago.

But let me think here a minute, if I put my alcoholic mind to this, I can decide this thread might make perfect sense to me. See if I take out the 27 years of my useless marriage, subtract that from my age, then I'm 29.

Hope this thread stays around for a long time !!!!!!!!!

I can totally relate to the half drunk sitting around in front of the tv thing. My first stint of soberness all of a sudden it just seemed like I had so much time on my hands, I didn't even know what to do with it.

This time around...I have adopted a little dog. He was my aunt and uncle's dog, and a they were aging they found they were having trouble really caring for him like they needed to. I took him home on Thanksgiving and he is curled up on my lap right now as I type this. We've already been for two long walks today. It feels so good to have a little companion and yet another reason to stay sober.

Oh, that is just so cute !!!!!! What kind of a dog. I was also looking for a little dog, but ended up with 2 kittens.

Actually was looking for a dog like my avatar, guess I should change that now to a kitten
