Hi All! New to this group.... am 5 months sober. Woke up on a Monday morning last July and just wanted to quit. Decided to quit for 30 days, then decided to extend it to 100 days, then through the holidays. Now I want to stay af for at least a year. I kinda like feeling happy every day! Look forward to connecting with you all, and I’ll try to chime in with any support I can offer. Happy 2021!

I came to my first aa meeting thinking it would help me dry our for a few months. In less than 3 weeks I'll have stayed 4 years. Seems a lot better than poisoning myself to death.

Oh this gives me so much hope. I always do dry January but this yr feels different than all the others already want to extend and kind of just keep going, just like you. Thanks for sharing this. Needed it

So glad it helped! I just keep going one day at a time…. it’s not always easy but I’m always happy I decided not to drink. I’m excited for you, dry January is a feat!
