Second day of sobriety Hi, am slightly confused and not sure if I am posting in the right place. I have been a drinker on and off for 30yrs and have really had enough but know I need some support with staying sober. I would also like to support other people as this to me is as important in getting support myself. Would appreciate some feed back, hopefully I have posted in the right place and can start making friends today :) Thanks |
You have definitely posted in the right place! So glad you found us and posting and supporting others is very good for recovery :D. |
And congrats on day 2! |
Looks like the right place to post to me. :) Welcome! Congratulations on your decision to live a sober life! :ring |
Brilliant :) Thanks all, I am looking forward to this journey it has been a long time coming and a lot of upset along the way, so glad to be able to chat to you all :) thanks x |
Hi Wendy - I bet you felt better on Day 2 than you did yesterday. I certainly did. I am finding SR a great source of support. |
Congrats, Wendy. I'm on day 2 as well and have been drinking for 20+ years. Let's do this! |
Hi Cahabr, yes lets! Congrats to you too :) I really do want to do this...Free66, yes I do feel better thanks, still a little shaky though, have taken some B Complex vitamins which I hope will help, also drinking lots of juice and water :) |
Hi Wendy, Welcome to the group! Day two for me also. |
Hi Wendy - I'm in the same spot since my last drink, though I have tried quitting a good few times. I hope I am not being overly optimistic but I have had more sober days than drinking ones for the last nine months. Support is important! Welcome! |
Welcome! I'm on day 9. Just keep it going! |
Welcome to SR Wendy.Congratulations on 2days sober,each day gets better. Wishing you well. |
:welcome Wendy!! Congrats on dat 2! There is tons of wonderful support here at SR, you've come to the right place! |
Hi Wendy stick with it, it's worth it, all the benefits sobriety brings even if you can't think of any yet and life sucks without booze, it doesn't, it's great! |
Wendy, not only are you in the right place but, if you are like me, you are in the "most" right place you could ever imagine. I did the same thing as you did - stumbled my way onto this website after 25 years of heavy drinking. That was almost 9 months ago, and I haven't had a drink since then. The good people here at SR have been largely responsible for keeping me on the right path. Good luck. Welcome to the SR family. I am glad you are here with us. :ring |
Just think about it Wendy, you made it a second day! Yes, the trip is one day at a time. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to have a support system in place. This great site can become part of that support system. That trip will get bumpy many times (life in 2014) , but also remember, you CAN do it! |
Hi Wendy, welcome to SR and well done on two days. :c011: |
Thanks all, and good luck to you, longest I have ever managed to stay sober in 30 yrs (apart from when I have been ill) is three weeks and that was many years ago. So putting every thing I have into it this time I don't normally drink in the day but in the evenings, I have been know to get through 3/4 of a bottle of vodka just in one eve :( My father passed 10 months ago and I can't seem to accept that he has gone and my drinking has gone from bad to worse, like I said nearly a bottle of vodka a night. Thank you all for your support, will probably pop back on here tonight as that is when I will find it the hardest. |
Just read all your kind messages of support, thanks, they really help :) :) |
Hi Wendy , I got sober after my nan died , in a way, she in part gave me this life . I like to honour her gift by staying sober and living this life as best i can . Keep on :You_Rock_ Bestwishes, m |
