The encouraging responses here are overwhelming!
I can't believe I visited here but never had the courage to join.
SR is a remarkable place to be.
As anonymous as it is, you are my family!
PS: Congratulations to Treerat on 1 year!

Welcome Lunar. Whether us alcoholics or addicts want to admit it or not - once we admit our problem is a great huge step, but achieving and feeling appreciated really helps. But, that is truly being human as well....I just think sometimes we need to hear it more because we are "down" on ourselves for our addiction. Glad you are here - this is great place to start your sober journey!!!

One day at a time is what I was taught, 24 hours, but sometimes 24 seemed so long. I sort of forgot I did not have to be wake for all of those 24 and I would go to bed early. Waking up sober and rested is a wonderful feeling.

Gracie, I used to do the same thing in early sobriety. When I couldn't take the AV anymore and I couldn't think of what else to do to fill my time, I just went to bed super early. Sometimes as early as 8:00 p.m. and just laid on the couch, afraid that getting up would lead to going to buy beer. In the morning, I was always so happy I made it through the night.

Yes, it will pass. You've done stretches of sobriety before, so you know the drill!
I don't ever want to go back and do that again. The first couple weeks were excruciatingly difficult for me. I was so emotional and raw.
I'm about to hit two months sober tomorrow. It has been a great thing. I've been going to AA and the people in the rooms have given me some structure and hope. I've made a couple friends. I see the future as happy instead of scary.
Welcome to SR, lunar. There is a lot of wisdom here. You've come to a great place! You could join the May 2014 Class thread if you would like.
