Hello Again--on Day 3 (Again)

[Devushka]

Hello! I've never been a very active user on this site, though I have been reading a lot on here. I'm into day three of my quit (the final one, there were many previous attempts) and for the first time am taking it seriously. I just wanted to say hello and also thanks for all the encouragement I've gotten, either directly about something I've posted or by reading others' posts.

I don't work on Fridays, so normally today would be the start of my weekend binge drinking. Instead, I'm sitting at home reading, looking at this site, and drinking mineral water. A thousand times better!

I look forward to the day when it gets easier, but for right now I'm glad I made it home without stopping at the liquor store...

It is common to try and fail a few times before you stick your quit. I struggled for 2 years before I (hopefully) finally got it.

Make it your number one priority (above all else) at least for right now.

Becoming more active here, helped me a lot.

Devushka - just wanted to say hello and I just hit day 3 as well.

How are you doing?

hey dev, just checking on you and no matter what, always come back here. the best thing that you can do for yourself is to never quit quitting.

So glad to see you here, congrats for reaching out for help. This place is awesome and has helped me tremendously. I too have taken many attempts to quit and the struggle has been enormous, but like MeToo said, just never quit quitting.

Welcome, stay glued to this site and you will find tons of encouragement, advise and wisdom!!!
