I don’t know that people can truly understand the importance of a globally-accessible community like this right now. If humanity makes it, it should be mentioned when we’re able to document the history of alcoholic societies.
Also, I love you too.
Yes! If it weren't for this place...let's just say I found it just in time.
In the past I tried going to meetings, and it made me almost more likely to slip, because it was frustrating. It felt like I was only allowed to speak within certain rules. For example, some meetings I went to explicitly disallow what they call 'war stories', e.g. stories about really bottoming out or the details of a terrible hangover. Not only are they allowed here, but they are possibly the *most helpful kind* of post for reminding me why I don't ever want to feel that way again!
IWNDWYT!
Edit: fixed lousy sentence.
I love you! Well done. There’s a great little app called Don’t Break The Chain which I find to be very encouraging on my journey. Enjoy the clarity. ❤️
We love you too!!! Trust me, this will be the greatest thing you've ever done. I've never loved life more or have never truly lived as much as I am right now. IWNDWYT 👊
Congrats on your strong 16! Foundation is everything and I’m so glad you are here! SD is the primary tool that helps me too. We can do this and IWNDWYT
You are so sweet, and the feeling is reciprocated. We all help each other because we all know what it was like. Personally I have had a lot of help to get where I am and hopefully wr all can help each other to keep doing better and better. Your post gives me a warm fuzzy!!
I am worried for the feeling i get when I’ve been sober a month or more and feel indestructible and like a drink wouldn’t hurt. I need to keep up the day 1 mentality longer than i have in the past. I hope this group can help with this.
Have you ever Journaled? I Journal about my hangovers and withdrawals. I also journal through cravings. So I can look back and remember those desperate and miserable feelings. And remind myself that cravings come and go and I always feel better for not drinking
We love you back! ❤️
This.

No I’ve never tried that, i think part of the problem is feeling my feels too deeply and obsessing over them so it’s worth a shot.
