first time posting

I've finally decided to make a serious commitment to stop drinking. The last year or more has been filled with such thoughts, only to fail within a few days. But I realized I deserve better and would like to get back on track before I descend further down this dead-end street. Today is day 2...

Glad you opened the door. I found this site in March and lurked around until this month. I joined the class of August after saying " after this weekend after this weekend.... " well, that wasn't getting me anywhere. Check out the class of August if you would like. It won't hurt too bad

Welcome Places! Glad you are committing to sobriety. One sober step at a time...you can do this, and you will feel so much better about life.

Day 2 for me, too. Sick of years of telling myself I need to quit every morning only to mess up again that night and repeat it all over. The dead-end street you're talking about is coming freight train fast, it's time to make a permanent change. Good luck.

I'm new just like you, this is day 4 for me. We can both do this, the difficulties will be completely worth being able to live hangover free and able to look ourselves in the mirror and our family in the eyes.

It may be years ago for me but that's my remember when I never want to TRY to repeat and won't as long as I don't pick up the first drink. It may be a little soon however stopping drinking DOES NOT eliminate the reasons we drank and that needs serious attention to keep from repeating the same insanity. It's a process of one minute/day at a time. BE WELL

Today is my day 2 as well. I've been to 2 AA meetings both Thursday and Friday night and am planning to go again tonight. I even got a 24 hour chip last night! Just live through this minute, then the next as I'm trying to do and we'll both keep on this path!
