Hi, my name is Tazman53 aka...... - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Tazman53 · 11-24-2006, 09:12 AM

Martin P and I am an alcoholic! Gee I bet you all have never heard that before!

My sobriety date is 9/18/06, so I am new to the sobriety party, I can honestly say though that I do not miss in the least that 40+ year party of alcohol. I would be lying if I said I never had a good time drinking, but that was many years ago when I still had control, before alcohol controled me.

I am happy to be here, I look forward to listening to you all to help me maintain my sobriety, hopefully I can return the favor.

Hi Martin P. Welcome! Glad you're here! (Bet you've never heard THAT either LOL!)

Seriously, glad to see another new face and hope you will share lots. Congrats on your sober time!

Thanks Guys, I had started a thread on AA in another forum and surprisingly discovered that a number of folks I had been chatting with for years were in the AA fellowship.

Hey and Welcome. The more sober voices the better the recovery.

Welcome to the forum, Martin!

This is a great place to share and encourage each other. Congrats on your sober time. Sobriety is such a gift for me, and I'm thankful for the opportunity to share with other alcoholics. I hope you stick around...this is a wonderful place to be.
peace,
chip

Hello,

Well welcome Martin, this is the place to keep it real. I've been here for a few weeks and I love it. I post about everything under the recovery umbrella, it's a damn big one too.

We can all do this together since we could do it alone

Me too. Those fun times came with such a high price tag though. Really, many different kinds of high price tags. And after the first few years, chances were that I was more likely to have a horrible time than a good time. My new life is by no means perfect, but I'm so grateful I don't have to live like that any more!
