“You never have to feel this way again.”

Early sobriety is filled with challenges. It means getting through cravings, making huge changes in your life and in your mindset, and sticking with the promise you made to yourself to stop drinking alcohol. When you have no idea what to expect, so many different things can throw you off course in those first 30 days. So we’ve gathered some people to talk about what the first 30 days looked like for them, to give you some insight, so you can go into this prepared for the challenges.
