Tomorrow will be 5 days sober for me. I can't remember the last time I went more than one.its been nice not waking up feeling like crap physically and even worse emotionally. I've been drinking for 2 years now ,more so this past year. I'm just sick of it running and ruining my life. I want to be the mom I was before I started drinking. I want my internal voice to be positive again.I've been reading posts here since my day 1 , and can relate to a lot of everyone's posts . I'm looking forward to the 7 day mark .

Hello and Welcome Ginger. This is going to be one of the best decisions you make. Well it was for me anyway. Lots of information and support here. I used to come here to stay focused on my goal at those times of morning when normal people were sleeping. now i come less regularly but to be honest partly for the same reason. The people here are all here to lend info or insight and they all come from the same places you have been. You'll make day seven and then day thirty and so on. Keep up the good work.

You really aren't alone, there are many, many people that are just like you. Today, I had lunch with a group of people I met at AA. I have never felt like I fit in anywhere as much as I did today, sitting with that group of people that on the surface seem nothing like me, but in fact are almost exactly like me. I had a great day.

From one parent to another, hang in there. I think we can do this.

Welcome, I am a parent as well. I am 14 days sober, and life is so much better with my wife and 3 year old daughter. SR has helped immensely as I know I am not alone. God Bless.

Also a parent and looking forward to days where I don't sit and yearn for meds to fulfill happiness. My kids did that before and I know they can be the joy of my life again. That and chocolate of course

tomorrow is one week of no vicodin and weds 1 week no adderall. Last night/yesterday I was having a horrible time. Today is better and I really have this site to thank. Every urge led me to get onto this site instead of hitting up a dealer.

All the best,
J
