Some people will have multiple first days. The trick is to get back at it. It’s okay if we slip up ever once in awhile. Don’t let that setback deter you. “To err is human.”

You are awesome! If you haven't, I hope you also get a medical and psychological screening. Get admitted to a hospital or other facility if necessary. You're not only getting sober, you are getting physically and mentally healthier! You'd be amazed at how many people will help if you ask.
And if you relapse, try again. Please don't ever give up on yourself.

Yeah it was a bit of a crisis. If I'm not procrastinating...who am I?

I just hit 300 days. The key to this time being so successful was that 300 days ago I not only admitted my problem, but I asked for help. It’s very hard to do it on your own. A support network is key. You’ll have bad days and you’ll have good days. Just be open and communicate and after awhile, every day will get a little easier, or at least it has for me.

Be yourself. But not if you are a schmuck. In that case be opposite of yourself.

Well said. Sobriety creates room for so much growth.

I made the same decision June 24th 2013. It was hard at first and the cliche “just for today and one day at a time” really means a lot when I look back at it. I had to start over November 21st 2018 and do it one day at a time. Luckily it was a quick short relapse but I was right back where I was before doing it one day at a time and now four years have gone by. I don’t do 12 step meetings much these days but I highly recommend at least checking it out. For me, I don’t think I could have done it in the beginning without it.

Might seem like a long road but the further you get down, the more simple and stress free your life will be. Im at 5 1/2 years sober after years of pill addictions.

Claims of people "overthinking" is just condemning smart people for figuring things out better than you.
