New here and new to sobriety
I am on day 11 after many attempts but this one feels like it could be the real thing. I have been a solitary drinker of wine for years and the quantity had crept up and just was taking over my life in a way that was not good. After trying many different groups (AA, RR, Smart Recovery, Moderation Management) and just not connecting with any of them I finally asked my very loving partner to try to brainstorm a solution with me.. and we did this together 12 days ago so now I have 11 days with no alcohol and just hope this is the beginning of a sober forever.
I love the support of women in my life and look forward to this forum. I would love advice from any of you about what worked and did not work in your early weeks and months. I am also curious about what to expect the changes to be in my life - physical, mental etc. Already I feel physically so much better and my awareness of how ever-present the world of wine has been in my life is really startling. I love passing up the wine articles in the newspaper, the wine list at restaurants, etc. What clutter that has been.
Thank you also for having been here for me already. I have been reading this forum without joining for several months. I have already been supported by this group.
