Hi, okay so ive looked into all these threads. But can't find one that suits, freedom thread/ not there there yet! Dry January / tried and lasted 2 days but feel like a failure posting! but am starting tomorrow, I need to !!! Can't keep going the way I'm going ! Anyone else in the same boat trying hard but nothing is working ! Please tips on your first steps , books, podcasts anything to make a fresh start ? Day one tomorrow. 🤞🤞

I’ve tried DJ a few times and always failed. This time I know i really have to make it for me. I am now on day 7 and while first week has been hard, and still is, I’m feeling the cravings are going and that I will succeed this time. You can start tomorrow and count 28 days from there. In reality it’s about long term changes as you know you probably need to break the cycle of you are looking at these chat threads. I’m on DJ and day 1 so join us. Some people are still occasionally having a glass of something and then starting again. Little changes add to bigger gains! Come join us

Being here is a positive step forward. I've done a lot of stop start quitting and I'm in day 8 of dry January and starting to feel better. I was actually scared I was in the alcoholic bracket or at least fast approaching so this safe space is helping. I've found this Instagram account for a chap call Sober Dave and he's very inspiring and also has a podcast weekly. He talks to all sorts of people who've opted to go alcohol free and there's been some stories that really resonated with my own situation and alcohol. Your here because you want to moderate or stop drinking, connect with others, remind yourself why - play it forward, if I drink today how will I feel tomorrow morning. I know that feeling of regret, the black outs and unknown conversations. Sending hugs and positive vibes your way. x

Thanks for your replies. @trydry22 will definitely check out sober Dave on Instagram . At the moment I'm listening to love sober podcast. Nd do find it good! Well done @Lushmetender nd @trydry22 your both doing amazing!! X hopefully il have 7/8 days done soon too and might find it a bit easier!
