Bumping my first and only SR thread to happily report on my 100 days of sobriety. When I read those old posts from May, I remember the profound despair I was feeling back then. I literally couldn't make it to noon without drinking, day after day. Particularly discouraging after the previous sober streak I'd had.
SR and the great people here helped me get the train back on track, for which I'm eternally grateful. Big shoutout to my June 2016 homies too. I still log onto SR several times a day and read threads, and I'll continue to do so for the foreseeable future. I know I need to stay vigilant about this stuff; the alcohol doesn't mess around. I intend to stay free of its perverse clutches no matter what. I feel like I was dead for years, that I've now come back to the world of the living. And it feels great.
To new people trying to get past the rocky first few days, know that you can do this and that things can get better as long as you don't drink.

And that feeling you describe of coming back to the world of the living. Yes, yes, yes. Alive and thriving. Good on you, Snazzy!
Congrats and keep truckin!
