Day 1... Again
Hi everyone 
I'm a former member of SR but created a new acct for a couple of reasons. At any rate, here I am, on day one of my sobriety journey. I've been here before and my most recent period of sobriety lasted a little over six months but I fell off the wagon over the last year or so (by having "just one"), and so here I am again... The most consecutive days I've gone without drinking has been about 7, though lately it's been closer to one or two and every time I go more than a day, I start to feel the emotional / psychological effects of quitting. I know it's going to be tough but I'm determined to get back - and stay - on the wagon once and for all. The difference this time around is my work environment (nightclub industry) which will absolutely be one of my toughest hurdles / adjustments but I know it can be done and actually makes me better at my job.
Looking fwd to being back as SR played a major role in my recovery last time and was more helpful for me than AA. I know that with support and willpower anything can be accomplished and sobriety is no exception

Day 1...Again
good for you for starting over again. I'm on day 2 and I'm looking forward to putting this behind me and enjoying life again. I just signed up for SR tonight. It's been wonderful to read all of this and hear so many amazing stories.
I hope your starting over isn't too difficult. I'm glad I am able to keep my mind on this versus the less than pleasant symptoms.

Welcome back
I think SR is a great resource - but thinking about a more structured recovery plan is a good idea too?
