One Week
 

Hello everyone.

I'm new here. Its been one week of no drinking for me. I've punished myself in the past with 15 years of alcohol abuse, the last 5 of which have been heavy daily consumption.

I feel confident I can beat it this time.

Each day I wake up feeling a little bit better than the day before so I am happy with my progress.

Thanks for reading :)

Welcome Changel.

Great job on your week of sobriety. We know how hard it is. I drank twice as long as you - and also drank daily in the end. It was a living hell. It's wonderful to be free. Glad to have you with us - the support & encouragement here is the best.

Welcome Changel - this is a great community - you'll find a lot of support here :)

Congrats :)

Thanks Hevyn.

I actually browsed this site a year or so ago, but I was still functioning ok then. A year later...I am a mess.

Hi Changel! Welcome to the forum. I can completely relate to functioning OK and then...BAM! Suddenly it's a daily struggle and a desperate cycle. We are here to provide support and understanding. Please keep posting, and congratulations on one week!

Welcome to SR, Changel! It's good to have you with us.

Hi! Congratulations on a week sober! I'm on day 2 after a couple of slips. The support on this site is fantastic - if you feel you are going to slip then post :)

Well done! A day at a time.
