12 hour mark

This is my first time to sober recovery. I am desperate for support. I feel like I.m not going to make it.

Hi JoJo welcome to SR. You will find so much support here. Yes, you can do this. If I can you can.

Deep inside you is s strength you think you don't have, but it is there. It is there, ask for it.

You can do this! 12 hours is awesome!

I never thought I could make it either. And I was a bad drunk for thirty years. It took a power greater than myself to lift me out of my drunkeness. Have you considered an AA meeting?
You'll find people there who have been through the same thing you're going through and they're all there for the same reason: to get sober.

It took me many attempts to quit. And many failures. Please don't put yourself through the misery I went through. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Just don't pick up that first drink, and I promise you won't get drunk.

Best to you, and please keep posting.

Welcome. The beginning can be a test of how much we want to get sober. No matter how it feels at this point it will be worse if we give up and try later. I tried to think of the millions that have made it through the beginning process and came up winners. I needed to remember that it's the first drink that gets us drunk.

KEEP COMING AND BE WELL
