Hello

Hello all! just joined this forum. I have 96 days today. I have not been attending meetings or doing anything other than white knuckling it. I have always relapsed at 2 months. So I am very proud that I have gotten through that milestone. I know that doing it alone will not work so I am starting small with this forum. Happy to be here. Thanks

Welcome.

96 days is a long time for a drunk to not drink.

I like hanging around, virtually, like minded folks.

I am a born again non drinker. I will never drink again. I hate the stuff.

I have said that at least 100 times. Last time I was offered a drink...I said no no no...I hate the stuff.

The drink offering was recoiled quicker than ever.

This place saved my life.

Thanks.

welcome lewdog
I found support was a lot better than white knuckling - hope you find that too

Welcome Lewdog. I'm glad you found us.

For some folks AA is the only way to go but many here only do Soberrecovery. Whatever works for you is the best.

Here's hoping you can get past the white-knuckling. Whatever you do, the first years tends to be tough.

welcome, and congratulations on three months!
white-knuckling is not a pleasantly sustainable way through life, so good on you for checking out some other options.

Welcome lewdog. Congratulations on brilliant 94 days.

Take it slow, take it easy, but don't take a drink.

Hope to continue seeing you around.

Welcome to SR lewdog

White knuckling it can be uncomfortable. I find the support available here at SR helps me to remain sober as I do feel like I'm not doing it all alone.
