Hi everyone. Today is my first day sober and my first day here. I need all of the help that I can get. My alcohol consumption has crept up by a massive amount this year and I want to stop i'm just so afraid to do it. I am craving like crazy right now so i'm just reaching out, trying to gain support and sober friendship.....

The first few days can be tough but just keep it in the day - in fact keep it in the minute if you need to!
When it feels really tough try saying to yourself:
Please grant me the serenity to accept the things i cannot change, courage to change the things i can and wisdom to know the difference.
It'll help - i promise!
Are you going to AA meetings? Have you had a look at the Big Book of AA? (they are both really helpful to achieving a happy sobriety) Try to stick around/keep in contact with other sober people. Although it can feel so hard in the beginning, please believe me when i say it is SO worth it. Your life will have new meaning, recovery is beautiful - please stick around and experience it for yourself.
You are in my thoughts and prayers - Michelle x
