I知 pleased at the responses already. I知 really tired of myself to be honest and I知 not feeling great today! My username is the name I had for my dobie Edy who passed away a few weeks ago! Miss him every day. I知 going to get better and prove to myself that I can live my life without alcohol. I知 not kidding myself I知 sure it won稚 be easy but I知 sure as hell gonna try my best 🙏🏻

You must have given him a wonderful life full of love
My little Maltese has been my angel, and I need to straighten up and fly right. I dont want to ever ever get myself to the place I was after my last binge.
Welcome aboard and heres to living better lives!

Welcome to SR! Glad you are here with us. Sorry about your doggie. I have had pets all my life. I had 5 minpins that were my 'children'. It is hard to lose them. They are never forgotten.

Welcome, Spaghetti. Sorry about your dog.
Something that really resonated with me just before I quit was someone posting on social media that they were going to bed sober. That just sounded delicious to me.
Make it happen! We're here if you want to talk, as a matter of fact talking helps.

I知 trying to be kind to myself and take everything slow but it doesn稚 come naturally 😴
And yes, so many hours in the days now! It's a good thing.
