Determined to stay in class this time, I'm a 30 year old alcoholic and addict from Newcaslte Australia. Haven't drank for awhile but I'm having a very hard time getting off painkillers, over the counter and prescribed.
Recently tried to detox myself at home but used again..
Just need to be here

I am in the May class, and I just wanted to pop in to encourage you all... Joining this class thread will likely be the one of the best things you ever do!! I am "only" on Day 10, but I would not have gotten here without the amazing people in my Class. You have a wonderful opportunity/gift here with SR, but especially with the support and connections you can make with those after the same change you are. It's a huge step having joined, and there is much help ahead!!

I'm on day 10 but anxiety is through the roof. I was shopping today and felt a wave of panic. There was a movie theatre in the mall so I went in spontaneously for a noon showing of captain America. I was able to calm down in the theatre but I am concerned about my anxiety.

Today I am a month sober. I want to make it longer so here I am.. It sure as hell is easier than the first week but I miss being "high" sometimes.
I feel like a different person. It really is like getting to know myself again.
I have done all the drugs and drank for 30 years. Now a month sober its like another reality. A good reality

Popping in from the class of March 2016 to wish everyone who has joined or will join this class luck and congratulations on choosing a better way of life in recovery. My own class (or classes since I'm also a member of the July 13 and May 15 classes) has made all the difference in my own recovery. Stick close to each other, ask for help as soon as you need it, help others whenever you can, and always remember that it's the first drink that is the problem. Without the first, we can never take the second or third or tenth one. You don't have to take that first drink today no matter what!

Popping in from the Feb 2016 class to let you guys know that you CAN do this. I am 92 days sober today for the first time in FOUR long years. Don't fret about the past, it's TODAY that matters...truly one day at a time. And it does get easier. The first 10 or so days for me were the hardest.....but you CAN and WILL do it! Remember: You have to want to be sober more than you want to drink...that is the only reason I am sober today. Best wishes. Stay CLOSE to each other. Nothing but GREAT people on this forum!
