New to this.....not sure what to say

Hi Garcia

we're a friendly bunch here - read around and post as much as you like.
Tell us a bit of your story if you want :)

15 days sober. Trying to figure out how to live day to day instead of high to high. Missing my family and especially my kids back home

garcia, we were hoping you'd be able to give us a detailed written essay on the breeding habits of various Northern Atlantic plankton species, but since you're clearly unprepared for that we'll settle for a "hello". Kidding of course. I have been on here for just a few months and sometimes I chime in on topics, sometimes I just read them. Good for you for showing up.

hello...i am new also

Welcome, Congrats on 15 days that is a huge accomplishment

Thanks for the wonderful welcome! That whole plankton thing threw me for a minute! Sorry still a littlescatter brained.tryn to clear out all the cob webs!

Hi Garcia,

Welcome to SR.

I find the forums work well when you just post your thoughts. I guess its all too easy to type, think twice, edit, then delete, then type some more, then delete the lot, then not end up posting at all.

Well done on your 15 days.

Sorry, I was just in a light-hearted mood and meant no harm. I am still "new" also. I find that just browsing the newcomers and alcoholism forums for me right now is very helpful. If I have an issue that I'd like to discuss, I start a new thread. I also look at New Posts as well, just to get a well-rounded idea on the variety of people using this board. Good luck!

Welcome garcia and iguy

No worries big sombrero! I thought it was funny! 1st time i smiled today thanks:)

Had a bad day yesterday no better today but i didnt let that little voice talk me outa being sober! I feel stronger everyday

good to hear Garcia! :c014:

Good job Garcia!!! Keep up the good work!

Thanks...i thought each day under my belt things would get easier but some days r more emotional than others. Thats normal right?

That is absolutely normal Garcia!!! Hang in there! Some days are better than others ... And it will even out in time... Some days it is just life :-) but sober is ALWAYS better.

I kno iv gotta let that control freak n me go and just relax.... thats another thing im learning to do

i thought each day under my belt things would get easier

so did i, Garcia, and OVERALL it works that way; just not day by day. it's not a straight-line linear thing.
but yes, it WILL get easier.
congratulations on your no-boozing days and welcome to you.

Good for you to realize that about yourself !!! Good step in the right direction! It is ok to be kind to yourself... You are gonna "Feel" some feelings that have been covered up for so long. Talk to us here, read, post, oh yea, and be kind to yourself :-)
Have you thought about meetings or therapy?
