Ten Days Into a New "Life"
As of this morning it has been ten days since my last drink. What a roller coaster. It hasn't been easy, but well worth it.
I owe a great thanks to everyone on this sight for their support. When I signed up a little over a week ago, I did not know what to expect. I knew it was time to change my life, but did not know where to turn. I felt scared and alone.
.....Then I found SR.
It helped me realize I was not alone and there are people out there that understand. That has given me strength, and courage. The encouraging stories and the encouragement from others is amazing to me.
It took a long time and a very big kick in my ego to for me to admit to myself that I have a problem with alcohol. However, since I have, I have felt better than ever. I have told my family, my friends, and coworkers. They have all been very supportive and more understanding than I ever thought possible.
I can't believe what it feels like after ten days. I can't wait to see where this will take me in three months. I feel like I am living again, looking for things to do, instead of going home after work and picking up a drink and ignoring the world around me.
One day, one new sober memory, and one new life to "live." Thank you all

Congratulations and welcome aboard!
I will have a year next week and just like you it was my ego that I had to conquer before I ever found success with putting down the drink for any serious amount of time. Now I am too proud of my sober time to compromise it with something as stupid as a single beer.
From one Minnesotan to another, fishing is much more productive without alcohol in the mix. Keep up the good work!
