Smile I haven't been here for a while...

Hey everyone!!!!!!

My name is Ragamuffin. I was a pretty active member about three years ago while I was going through withdrawal from alcohol. Oh my goodness was it terrible!!! I was also horribly agoraphobic. I had not walked out of my home in almost 2 solid years. I gained 100 lbs in a year and almost died a few times. I drank every single day. I never thought I would be able to say that I quit drinking September of 2012.

I am still sober.

I owe this community my life. I met several people on here in 2012 and we STILL speak every day. I have a lot of love for this family. I promise you it will get better and you totally can do this. Dude, if i did... then you can

I am grateful for you.
