hello all

I've been reading/lurking for a few years. I've been sober for one year and eleven months today. I am an active AA but understand other methods work for other people. Anybody who is wondering if it is possible to stop drinking and still have a life.....yes it is and it is very much worth it. It is plenty of work but also plenty of reward. Just wanted to get myself out there....thanks

bd,
welcome.
you might find, as i did, that lurking and participating are two very different things
looking forward to hearing more.

Thanks everyone. It feels good to participate rather than sit on the sidelines and watch. I guess I've been lurking more than just a few years....since 07 or 08. My alcoholism tells me I'm not good enough to get in the middle of things like this. My alcoholism wants me on the sidelines where it can pick me off sometime when I'm weak. I don't want that so I'm going to get involved here to supplement my recovery. Thanks again.

Welcome and thank you for sharing your feelings. I'll have three years in June, am active here and try to post at least once a day, in hopes it may help someone. I'm not the best with advice...but every little bit helps
