This is a place to motivate each other to control or stop drinking. It is also a place for non drinkers to discuss and share.
We welcome anyone who wishes to join in by asking for advice, sharing our experiences and stories, or just encouraging someone who is trying to quit or cut down.
Please post only when sober; you’re welcome to read in the meanwhile.

It's my 8th week without alcohol today! Been very difficult at times, hoping it gets easier.
Two months!! Congratulations!!💜
Congrats on reaching 8 weeks! It will get better over time, just take it one day at a time. The urges etc should become less.
That doesn't mean you can get complacent. I'm sober 5 years, and last week I took a mini sip from my wife's cocktail and immediately the urges to drink more came back. Very scary.
It does get easier, but some days will be harder than others.
If you need to talk about it, feel free to make a thread.
Congrats! That's really amazing.
It took me a while to reap the rewards of sobriety, but they definitely came.
Hang in there, and reach out if you need to vent.
Cheers! I'll definitely make a post here if I feel my resolve crumbling.
