About to hit 2 weeks sober

Again, probably for the fifth or sixth time. Hopefully for the last! I waited to post cause I wanted to feel like it was real, like maybe I'm committed, and now there's a record so I can have some help being held accountable. It's been a long twelve years, but I've finally accepted that I just can't do moderation. Reading through all the stories on this sub has helped me feel "normal", and it's eerie how each odd issue I have that feels unique has multiple posts devoted to it with hundreds of replies echoing our shared experiences. I love all the "help, I'm bored!" posts, this has been the death of most of my sober attempts so far and it helps to see such support and so many creative solutions. So, I'm finished lurking and finally putting my neck on the line, hopefully I'm still here in a year and racking up my 365th day!
