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

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.
