Hello everyone,

This is my first post here, and I just want to share a small achievement. I find often that if I drank alcohol yesterday I'm much more likely to drink it again today, and yesterday for the first day in around 2 weeks I had no alcohol, this is making it much easier to have none today.

Anyway, that's all, and it's not a big deal I just wanted to share it.

So fucking stoked for you!!! Its so hard to get over that initial chemical dependency and building up the willpower to take the first steps you just took is MASSIVE, youve got this shit OP! Stay strong, but remember to not beat yourself up if you relapse, its really easy to spiral if you have a weak day and give in to the addiction. Just remember its a journey that starts hard, but gets more and more rewarding the further you get along the path.
