Day one (again) and hoping for more

Here I am again, day one. I have had 8 day “one” in the last month and a half. I found this forum today and am going to start again. I can go about 3-4 days and then boom! My DA stops and buys booze. I work from home, so I haven’t left the house since Sunday (yep drank that night) So I was doing good, then I had to go get groceries. If I didn’t have to leave the house I’d be fine. I felt like such a loser when I woke up this morning. Then I found this forum. (Ok I still feel like a loser, but now have a glimmer of hope) I’m going to start again today.

You found this forum and that is great. You can post all you want, and definitely if you feel triggered to drink. Welcome!

Welcome, and there is lots of hope that you can do this. You don't have to go through another Day 1.

Welcome!

This truly is an amazing place with amazing people. I have also had many many...many day ones. My most recent day one was 12 days ago and I’ve stuck to it. Alcohol finally just made me sick to the core to even think about, and I was drinking everyday for the last 12 or so years. Truly stick to being clean, happy, healthy, and sober ☺️

Hello, Smush! It's great to have you with us. Here you will find understanding & encouragement. We all know what you're going through.
For me, talking things over here at SR made all the difference. I had felt all alone until coming here. Welcome - please keep reading & posting. We care.
