The energy of this month is all about the transition from rest and reflection to explosive growth and expansion. Be fertile and plant your own seeds of goals, dreams and wishes!
Lets do this!

Hello March class. I am starting Day 4. I used this site in 2016 to get sober. Lasted 6 months before I picked up my old habits. I really need to stop for good. I have no doubt I will be dead or homeless soon if I continue to drink. I have completely isolated myself and have very little contact with anyone. Got fired last year for drinking on the job. Now spend all my time alone drinking. I need your support!

Hi all. Welcome to SR. You have found the right place. I am class of January 18 and here to say this site helps.
I too have relapsed many times, and used this site over the years but this time is different. I have committed to this site, I check in the 24 hour recovery thread every morning and it helps. ODAAT - one day at a time.
Take care and welcome.

Hi all Marchers here on SR.
If you are 1 day or 20 years, I wish you all a healthy and safe journey.
Today for me is 60 days or 2 months and I can say to all who are just starting out that it is good to get here.
I will NOT be resetting the clock to day 1, tried that and that's just diving back into a whole world of crap!
We only get one shot at life!
I don't want my loved ones secretly worrying about me.
I don't want neighbours and associates judging me.
I WANT TO MAKE THE BEST SHOT AT LIFE THAT I CAN!
I believe that I am out of the dark depths, the water is a little clearer and calmer where I am now, I am heading towards the shimmering light.
All the best, Dusty🤣😂🤣Cary on Marching😂

I am struggling today. I don't want to drink but I desperately want these feelings to go. I know time is the only thing that will heal that. I wish I knew why I kept doing it. It always seems such a good idea but then afterwards I feel terrible. I'd had quite a big gap from stopping in October to now. It scared me a bit realising I'd been trying to stop for 20 years and I'm still here. I've been worse but I wish it would go away.

I had drunk or drugged for 30 years before I quit charlieworld - I think the more we don't give up the harder it is for us to throw in the towel and drink again.
By the end of my drinking I was just beat - there had to be another better easier way to live my life - and luckily,,,there was.
Keep adding things to your recovery toolbox and your recovery plan & you'll get there
welcome to you too Rowlands1

I am coming off a bad binge too Nichole. 3 months of near-daily drinking. Been trying to quit for 2 weeks but withdrawals were so bad I had to drink a few beers. Cold turkey can be dangerous. I finally managed to stop without withdrawal symptoms on Sunday. I haven't left my apartment much this week as I am quite sleep-deprived. The insomnia just saps your energy. Slept 4 hours last night. I will be going to AA as soon as I get some decent sleep. I need a haircut and some new clothes but can't handle being in public beyond a quick trip for groceries. I am hoping by day 5, I can emerge from hiding. Detoxing from alcohol dependence is the most excrutiating ordeal I have ever experienced. I had Shingles a few years ago. 2 weeks of intense pain, blisters all over my abdomen, and unable to move. I would choose Shingles over alcohol withdrawal

Good Morning .
Start of day 2 for me . Yesterday felt so good. Waking up felt so good . No headache medicine necessary , no need to guzzle water to quench my dehydrated body. I know the days will get harder as my inner voice will probably say " see , you can stop anytime you want". I will be ready to say to that voice , NO ! It will never be just one drink with me . It will lead to 3, 4, 5 ,6. It will lead to hours wasted , forgetting going to bed , shaking hands and memory loss.
