We are here to help each other so you've made a great beginning ... Our most important day in sobriety is 'today' ... We learned early to take things 'One Day at a Time' ... because right now ? ... Today is all that counts ...
I agree with Frodo ... Get to an AA meeting ASAP ... because these people will become 'life-long' friends ... and they will love you as much as , if not more than, family ...
God Bless, Pappy

Hi all, am a new comer here, I have been battling with addiction for most my adult life. I have made the desicion finally to seek help as I simply cant cope battling on my own anymore. I am determined to get sober and turn my life around. I hope I will find support amongst the good people here.

I think there's an invisible principle of living...if we believe we're guided through every step of our lives, we are. Its a lovely sight, watching it work.
Hi guys, thanks again for the kind words. I know it seems daft, but it's only day two sober which is still a small achievment for me. I am reading with interest other peoples posts and this is giving me strength. Speak soon.
Welcome Mrwriter. It's great to have you here. As others have said Sobriety is best found face to face through AA meetings. There you can find a like minded soulmate to guide you through what it takes to achieve long term sobriety. Here you will find fellowship, insight and support, but we are not a substitute for the real thing.
Hi, well I hope in two years time I can pass on the same support to others. Day 3 now, one day at a time. Thx guys, looking forward to chatting more soon.
Thx Bluebell and all you guys Day 5, feeling ok. Sore throat and chest, but positive and taking it each day at a time. Currently trying to find an AA group for newcomers near myself. Thanks to all you guys for the support.
Hi guys, been quiet the last few days due to visits with Family, pleased to say that I am still Sober 9 Days now!!, day at a time. I have been enjoying Running, and eating a lot. But despite several Jubilee offers of a trip to the Pub I abstained in favour of food & Water. Hope everyone is safe and in a good place. Cx
Keep some lollies (candy) handy. It helps cravings or somesuch. I'm not sure how it works but every AA meeting I've been to has lollies at them, and I've seen people swear by them here.
I was wondering how you were doing ... thanks for the update ... and Yep, I too had a new found love for food at this point ... amazing how food tastes when you're not killing all those 'taste buds' ... (ya know, now that I think about it ... I think I used to have another drink, back then, just so I wouldn't have to get up and go find something to eat ... that and plus the fact that I figured if I did eat something, it might kill the buzzzzzz ...)
Oh man, ... the insanity of it all ... thank God for this program and new 'way of life' ...
God Bless, Pappy

Hi MrWriter212 -- belated welcome. I'm sober today for one reason: I get to meetings, have a sponsor, listen (or try to) and work the program of AA to the best of my ability. It's been a real adventure, one day at a time.
Keep coming back...and help me stay sober another day.
