Day 364

Hi all you newcomers,

Today is day 364 without a drink for me, and I thought I would drop in and share a few things with you.

- Long, slow deep breaths can quieten urges.

- One single drink will equal many, many more.

- Writing down and sharing your feelings here on SR helps you straighten out your thoughts.

- Alcoholism is a one-way downward slope anybody can choose to step off of.

- Long walks are good for the spirit.

- Being really hungry throws gasoline on urges.

- Stay hydrated, with water.

- It took years or decades to do the damage; give yourself time to give recovery a chance.

- As bad as early recovery is, each sober day gets you further from it.

- As weird as it sounds, choosing to never drink again, ever, is easier than trying to stop for a while.

Take care everyone, and I hope your days get better and better as time flows on
