Every journey to sobriety starts with a day one.

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.

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

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. ❤️‍🩹

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. ❤️‍🩹
