Start of a journey

Today I am particularly grateful for this first day of sober. I am committed to take this next step after breaking down the barrier of fear. Of what next. I have learned from the many articles to break it down into days and not look at the big picture. After all Jesus taught us not to be anxious about tomorrow...

Hi and welcome Fola

You posted in our Daily Support forum which is only for the continuation of existing threads

You'll find a lot of response in this forum

In my experience, there's a lot to be said for 'one day at a time'...forever was very scary for me in the beginning, but the more days I racked up, the more achievable the idea of forever became.

Of course the onus is on us to keep making that daily commitment every day.

Our 24 Hours Recovery Connection thread is a nice way to make that daily commitment:

Thank you D for your encouragement. For the first time I feel stronger and more confident. Indeed the onus is squarely on my shoulders that is why I pledge zero tolerance.

Welcome to SR Fola. I spent a ton of time reading as many old threads here as I could early on. I found it helped me tremendously to know that my story wasn't unique and I wasn't alone in this fight.

Glad to have you with us.
