Hi I'm new here and i'm praying this works.
I don't feel particularly strong today and i want to be.
:scared:

Hi, emmu, and welcome!

What is the "this" that you are hoping works? What is it you are trying to do?

Welcome! Ditto on the strength thing and today is also day 1 for me. The fact that you are here and trying is great!

Hello Emmu:

I'm an emu too !!

Seriously, nice to meet you. What brought you here to us?

Hi Emmu, I've not done much longer! Welcome, I've spent most of my day reading and reading here...

:welcome to SR! Glad you found us! :ghug3

Emmu welcome. It is amazing what is possible

Welcome to SR emmu :)

I didn't feel particularly strong when I got here either - the great thing about SR is there's strength in this community....and support, wisdom, experience...and hope :)

I'm glad you've joined us!

Hey emmu, nice to meet you, and welcome to SR, this site is wonderful, you'll get tons of support here. :ghug3

Thank you all. What I mean by "this" is my trying to be sober. I'm positive I can do today, but tomorrow after work will be the big challenge. Stress and coming in and having a glass of wine BEFORE I change clothes is going to be a problem. Any suggestions? I probably should change first but that'll only take 5 minutes and then what? pray!

Welcome emmu. I drank all my life, & the people here helped me turn everything around.

When I was anxious and scared in the early days of quitting, I'd come here and post about it. You don't have to say much - we all understand what it's like in the beginning. It helps to have others to relate to who've been where you are. Glad to have you here.

Day 2: night wasn't bad...hot, sweaty, cold, chilly. sometimes both at the same time. haha
i'm set to do this. today will be the challenge. home from work and routine of pouring a drink. I hope that routine is substituted with a healthy one. I'm going to try.

Hi emmu,

Glad you made it thru the night, you can do this. I had the same routine of pouring a drink when I got home. I made my decision to quit one night and the next morning I loaded up the car with all alcohol in the house and gave it a friend who could drink it responsibly. 15 days later I haven't had a drink, but if there was anything in the house in these 15 days, I would be on day one right now. Take care!

out of the house
 

:tyouI better throw stuff out. Such a waste, but every time i opened fridge yesterday i had to see it. Good advice! thank you.

hi
 

Hi I'm only 7 days sober. I find that SR with AA is a good combo.
