First time in nearly 30 years

After reading the posts on this site it gave me inspiration. Yesterday was the first 24 hours that I didn't have a drink in nearly 30 years. Thanks everyone

Welcome! After that many years, you may be susceptible to Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome and need medical attention.

Congratulations on the courageous move Broonale! It's quite a process but incredibly rewarding. I'm in my second month and feeling great.

Good News!!!!
Great to have you here!!

I am over 50 and 116 days sober....Awhile back started a thread for those of us over 50 years old and newly sober. You may be around that age???

It's never too late I and many others have discovered!
