2 days on here and my urge to drink is dwindling!
Hello everyone.
I've been a member on here for almost 2 days now and I already feel stronger in saying no to alcohol. I have spent the better part of the last couple days on here, reading people's stories and posting a few thoughts of my own.
What a help this has been!
I drank almost every night over the last week after being sober for 7 and a half months. I decided this time that I wasn't going to let it go as far as it has in the past. After taking the first step in coming on here and just letting out my problem after keeping it locked up inside of myself for years, I noticed an immediate change in my mindset. I no longer felt so alone.
Last night, I had not regained enough strength to resist alcohol.
Tonight is different. My urge to drink is almost non-existent. I owe so much of that to this online community. Just knowing that someone out there knows my story, even if I don't actually know any of you, is a significant burden off my shoulders. All of the words of encouragement are so helpful as well.
I have also drawn strength from offering words of encouragement to others on here who I feel I connect with or who seem to be in a much worse situation that I am.
I will NOT drink tonight. I will take it one day at a time and I will continue being an active member on here because in just under 48 hours it has done so much for me.
Stay strong everyone!
Thank you!

Thank you guys!
It's just after midnight where I am and normally I would be drunkenly passed out by now.
Not tonight! Just chilling on the couch watching a movie and checking in on here.
Feeling good!

Felt so good to wake up sober today! Don't feel like crap and more importantly, I don't hate myself. Overslept a little but I don't care. It's Saturday and I probably needed it after a week of crappy alcohol-induced sleep.
I'm gonna keep this going. I'm not even gonna say I hope I keep this going. I AM going to keep this going.
Hope everyone has a great Saturday!
