Day 1
 

Day 1 of many, many, many Day 1s, but I’m here.

Welcome, Power! Congrats on your Day 1 - the beginning of a wonderful journey to freedom. We're so glad you're here.

Power, that is awesome!

Every journey to sobriety starts with a day one. :hug:

Welcome, Power. I'm glad that you found us.

Welcome ThePowerOfShe :)

Welcome ThePowerofShe and congrats on day 1 :)

Welcome, Power!

Glad you're back. I hope you stick around and post regularly. It really helps!

I'm glad you are here, She. It's so much better being sober. :)

Hope to see you around.

We’ve all had many of them too, don’t worry.

What s the plan for making sure it’ll be different this time? Something has to change, same strategy = same results.

Welcome!
Let's make this Day2

Hi PoS, we all had many day 1s, and no one cracks it first time. But for a lot of us, something just clicked and/or we made the right changes in lifestyle, and the days became weeks and eventually years. No way to say about nice about withdrawal - it’s horrible - except to say it lasts a few weeks only. The crucial part is the realisation that you, me and all of us can’t drink again, not even one. It screws up everything. Good luck and keep on posting :)

Welcome Power! Day one is the hardest at least is always has been for me! I start day 7 this morning! Keep it up!

You know that this can be the last day 1 you ever have?! Best of luck.

Day 7 is great! Thanks for the inspiration!

Thank you all for your replies. It is the morning of Day 2. I’m committed to staying on this path. It is time for me to live an authentic life, looking back to acknowledge my mistakes without denial or judgement, and looking forward with hope for the future and becoming the best version of myself. Let the healing begin. ❤️‍🩹

Power, great attitude!! Keep it up.

keep posting TPOS

Morning of Day 3. I feel grateful, having had a good night’s sleep and not being hungover. It is amazing how difficult everything is when you feel like hell physically and mentally and how much easier everything is when you don’t (duh, go figure). My healing will take a long time, and I expect there will be many ups and downs, but I’m committed to this plan of becoming the best version of myself. ❤️‍🩹
