Hi Julia, and welcome! You absolutely can do this, and you can be done for good. Relapse is not inevitable. Lean on us -- we're here for you.

Hi Julia welcome to SR , I'm so pleased you found us. I stumbled on this site nearly 3 years ago and it is my lifeline for so many reasons.

I understand your 'done done done'. I wanted it to stop and be 'normal' but of course it takes a bit of work on our part.

My days turned into weeks, then months and so on, but you need the tools for the job. Eventually though, it's like crossing the road. You look right, then left, then right again to know it's safe to cross. It's not an issue, it's not something we have to think about we just do it! Why? Because we learnt the rules and go by them .

Simple. Just one for me. I don't drink. Learning how to do that, SR helped me. As you can see we all use what's best for us and suits us, same as crossing the road, we learn the rules then use the one which suits us best.

Baby steps, Julia, just small steps, one in front of the other. We can help you if you want to come along for the ride! Buckle up!

Thank you all again - I am reading, and re-reading each and every word that each of you has said. I am going to print them out and keep them close to read as part of my plan I am working on. Love you all.

Glad you are here--you can do this and you will be surprised how wonderful
and rewarding sobriety is--it's a bit rough to get through the first few weeks,
but improves quickly.
