        Hi Ripple, I've only been here a little over a month. I had try to go alcohol free in October and only made 4 days so now I'm trying again in November and so far I'm 8 for 8. I think you will find a lot of support, encouragement, wisdom, advice, on this site so keep coming back and posting. Lots of luck.

                Do you mean 30 days without alcohol? That's awesome - no matter how you achieved it. If you get really twitchy - you can always post on the 'need help ASAP' forum - a great place to get support right away. Are you in a safe place?

                  Ripple, 30 days AF is great. Are you still in the facility where you voluntarily admitted yourself? If so how much longer do you have there? Wonderworld is right the need help ASAP is a great place to post or start a new thread. Please take care.

                    Yup, 30 days out of the hole. I am in a safe place although the man gets baked nightly away from here. I'll check out the help section. I get anxious towards the week-end when drinking is common. Hubby is out having cocktails and i am here not having any fun at all. Life sucks today. I am staying at my cousins house, he smokes weed.

                          Hey Ripple-

                          Yeah - i joined here in October. Had been on a long stretch of AF, and then fell back into the bottle for a few weeks sept/oct and things started going downhill pretty quick. Found this site and it has gotten me back on track, thank God. It's helping me AND I enjoy it. Nice.

                          As you see - there are forums broken down into different categories. Since I'm AF-ing it right now the abstinence forums work for me alcohol-wise. I do my daily check in's on "The Inn" thread in the monthly abstinence forum. Kind of a virtual home away from home designed to help anyone trying to achieve 30 days AF. I just kind of clicked with that group, or landed there first. Check it out! And/Or....check in! There are lots of other threads where people are working on 30 days AF. The newbies in ODAT (One Day At A Time) thread is way cool for starting out too. There's just so much! Just read and post and jump in anywhere and everywhere. Every forum and every thread is open to everyone. People here are all really friendly and interested in one another and people who are moderating or AF'ing or figuring it, out all have plenty to share and learn from each other.

                          And....as I'm sure you've seen there are lots of fun threads flying around that have little or nothing to do with alcohol - they're just fun.

                          Happy exploring! And again....glad you found us!
