Hello everyone, long time lurker, first time poster.

Hello everyone, just wanted to hop in here today as today I am finally aiming for day 1 without alcohol.

I am 30 years old, and have been drinking since I was 15/16 or so. Don’t think I’ve gone more than MAYBE a couple days without a drink since I was 21. And honestly can’t remember a time I have gone without since then. However, I’ve been slowly reducing my consumption over the last couple weeks more seriously, as well as reading many stories from this subreddit (thank you for all your empowering stories) and because of that, I feel comfortable that I can survive today without alcohol.

I’m open to any and all stories, and will try to respond as much as possible to any stories or questions. Not really sure how this all works or will go here.

So, for the first time in a very, very long time… IWNDWYT!

Thanks everyone :)

Edit: PS - I am posting here to hold myself accountable for today, so any and all activity will help immensely, seeing new notifications for this post will remind me to keep coming back and strengthen my resolve. So again, thanks folks!
