I’m just stopping in to give a happy hello to the August ‘22 class. A year ago I joined the class of Aug ‘21 and it’s been a vital part of my recovery- all the very best to this class!

Hi Red!

Viking is in my August class, and our class is SUPER!

This is your last day 9. Doesn’t that sound so true?

Stay close…….what is different this attempt than your last?

To anyone lurking, keep reading and learning. Chime in when you are ready.

Sober living is so far away from the hell of active addiction…..

Day 1

Hopefully this will be my last day 1! I joined a couple of months ago and have managed 3,4,5,6,7 days but then failed.
I need this I can't continue in this cycle. I really am ready to get alcohol out of my life, i just wish it was as easy as that!

Welcome, Alex!

Its simple, but hard. Most things in life that are the right thing aren’t so easy.

What is your plan this last day 1, to stay sober past day 7?

Sounds like you’ve had enough learning from the past…..

Time to move forward.

You got this!

It's time for me to commit to a class and do the job properly. I'm giving myself one week to let my body heal from the poison that is alcohol, and then I am going to change the way I live my life. I am not doing it alone, my partner in crime is with me all the way. We are aware that this is hard work, but it will be so rewarding. I want to be happier and healthier when we open our coffee shop on Halloween.

Are you with me?

Hi all,
I joined the July Class on the last few days of the month but missed out on starting with everyone else so thought I would join in here.

I am 3 weeks sober today!

Best wishes to anyone starting day 1 today. These last 3 weeks have been a real mixed bag. Been through all the emotions and physical withdrawal symptoms.

Gundog

Gundog, congrats ! Three weeks = 21 days! That amazing! It gets better and better.

Instead of 10 times per second thinking of a drink, or shame about it, that frequency decreases dramatically. I think for me it was about 10 times per day at three weeks.

Erratic, Lixie, and Peke, welcome.

I found that the pain of staying the same outweighed the fear of changing, and that unknown path.

Becoming cognizant that my awareness and desire had to lean WAY more on sober living than falsely believing drink would benefit me in any way.

Would love to know each of your thoughts ……

Welcome, it CAN BE DONE.🥰😀🥳🪅🎉🎊🪄🙏🏼

Joining! This is going to be an amazing class... i can't feel it.
Hi Erratic, so good to see you!

Alex you will feel so much better the further you move from day 1. Stick with us.

Viking and Free you both are doing amazing!

Day 8 here.
23 days until school starts. I want to cherish every day with my boys... even if they drive me a bit batty and eat me out of house and home.

Love to all. ❤

Welcome to all of the new members of the August 2022 class!

I'm an alumni of the August 2009 class, and that experience was crucial in helping me to get, and stay sober now, for 12+ years.
