It is so much better GF, and wish the same for you.

Congratulations, Steely. Post like this gives me hope that things will be much better. Thank you for your support.

You can do it

Thank, you. I need to remind myself that quiting is not a magic pill to all my problems but it will be much easier to handle things sober.

Thank you, I have already been offered to drink, but I owe myself to stay sober. I even debated with someone on how I should be moderate, but I know that it will not work for me.

Thank you, all. I had a very productive weekend by staying sober and keeping to myself. I was tempted yesterday to reset my quit but managed to stay sober. Today, I'm using the time to reflect, build a sobriety plan and prepare for next weekend. I have family members coming to my house to celebrate an uncle's birthday, and I'm sure that a lot of alcohol will be on the premise. I need to learn not to fall into temptation and politely decline all the alcohol submissions. For now, it's just better to take it one step at a time and not worry for the weekend.

GhostFace!!! I am so thrilled to see you.

You can make sobriety a wonderful “forever gift” to yourself? Please keep attempts and thoughts of moderation and control off the table. They just don’t work for us.

I have a great career and family, and I am such a good person when I'm not under the influence. I have a list of things that are holding me back; I'm self-aware, and now it is time to commit and not continue doing the same thing expecting different results.
