Today's Hard
Hi all I'm posting right now all alone on my first sober New Year's Eve it's been a pretty emotional day with a significant other so I'm struggling today I'm reaching out and I won't pick up a drink. I am 76? days sober I lurk here a lot I don't post much.I want to thank you all I come here often to read everyone's post
Kensie, good job on 76 days. Sorry you are having an emotional day. Drinking certainly won't help, and will only make matters worse. Keep reading and posting here, and drink some watered down sport drink with sparkling water, or whatever you like. You'll get through the night and tomorrow morning you will be so happy you didn't drink.

Thanks Dee yes I will be ready to go tomorrow morning for church with my daughter and grandson. it's a great feeling for sure. On a Sunday in October when I couldn't get up because I was so sick from drinking the night before and couldn't make Church my daughter took me to the hospital instead and that's how my recovery started!

Welcome - I have found this whole festive period hard so feel like I understand.
I'm glad you have posted and reached out to our corner of the internet.
Remember to be kind to yourself - lots of sleep, hydration, healthy food, not being alone too much.
Wishing you the best xx

Kensie - It's wonderful you have 76 days of sobriety. I'm so glad we've learned that alcohol does nothing but bring misery & regret. It never ends up calming us or helping us cope, the way we once thought. You're doing great.
Hang in there, Kensie. You are on the right track. Remember that there is always someone from SR here, even on week ends and holidays. When everyone is honking their horns and toasting the New Year with their umpteenth drink tonight, a bunch of us will be here enjoying the forum. You're welcome to join us.

Hi everyone thank you so much for your support it is a wonderful thing to have! Last night I was pulling out all the tools from my toolbox and this was definitely a useful one. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do, I can't tell you what it means to finally feel freedom. I won't drink today!
Happy New Year I have a feeling it's going to be a good one
