Ready to start feeling healthy again

Hi everyone! I started drinking again about 9ish months ago. Now I'm right back to where I don't want to be. Started to realize I've been canceling plans a lot and isolating myself more and more. Feeling physically and mentally pretty terrible. this forum really helped me before so I would like to start here again. The first week is the hardest...

Welcome back Lily. I hope SR can be as helpful as it was in the past, and perhaps you can reach out for other forms of support that you haven't tried in the past too.

Not doing things I enjoy to sit at home and drink depresses me. I am on day 2. Please give the voice that calls you to drink by another name besides "I". Its jot you that wants to stay home. Each time will get easier for us. Each time we get out sober and enjoy the voice will die a little more.

I too am trying to get back on the wagon after a nice run of sobriety. The difference is night and day when I drink (or don't) all for the positive. So ridiculous is this damn disease! This time around I am including some activities that I did not to my first time-- go to AA weekly, get a sponsor, and fill the hours that are used to drink with a different, healthy activity.

Welcome back to SR. My world shrank in size to a small, grim and dismal place when I drank. Breaking the bonds of drinking is setting me free. I hope you stick around and find the same.

Hi Lily,

I can relate to a lot of what you said. I'm newly sober and I didn't realise till last week how little I've been doing. I've been cancelling plans, not going out...just shrinking my world to alcohol.
Well no more!

Stick with it and there's loads of support here :-)
