Trying to stay sober
 

Hi, I am struggling with staying sober. My husband went out of town for 10 days and I am alone and wanting to drink. I found this site with hopes it would help me find something to do so I won't pick up that drink,

Great idea. Keep reading and posting. xxxx

Thanks KateL. I will keep reading and posting.

Hey Lily! Welcome to SR!! Glad you found us!! It's a great place with lots of folks who have been where you are now!!!

I'm still kind of new at this, but I'll sure tell ya that when I'm feeling vulnerable or craving, I come here and read and post till it passes...

Look around, read around, and never ever feel badly about asking for help. That's why we are all here!!!

Welcome!!

Hi and welcome to the forum! I come here daily, it really helps me to keep my focus on my goal of sobriety. Sometimes, just to pass time, I play in the arcade. Tons of games in there!

:welcome to SR! I'm glad you found us and joined the family. We are here to support and encourage you in your sober journey. You are never alone, there is always someone here. :hug:

It's great to meet you Lily. You found a wonderful place. It will definitely help with your anxiety to spend time here. Welcome! :)

When I first joined here, I would stay after work and read here for hours, I never drank at home but I never managed to make it home first. This site really got me through those brutal first few weeks. You can do it.

You ve found a great site. So many people in the same boat. Keep sober.

Nice to meet you Lily,,,, I do the same thing here,,,,I read for support and keep my mind from wondering to the drink. It helps,,, and the people I have met here so far are wonderful. Welcome, and keep coming back.

You are in a rough place to not drink IMO. 2 years ago I went there on a bus tour, got off the bus and headed to my favorite joint by myself. Hadn't had a drink in over a year. Congratulations. Lily I wish you well.

Hi lilybits - there's a lot of support here :)
Welcome :)

D

seems like a pretty good plan...
id also suggest contacting your sponsor if you have one or making some meetings if that is possible.

Welcome,

I would have to agree with Safe as well!

We are not alone!!
