Hello, new to recovery and christianity.

Hi, I have just found this place and hope I can join in and make it a part of my recovery.

I am relatively new to recovery, after a relapse I am now on 5 days sober. I am also a new christian so its very much a learning curve for me right now.

So hello to all and looking forward to chatting with you

Serenity Welcome

Nice to have you join us. You will find a lot of support here I am sure.
There are two books that will help you. The Big Book from AA will help you find answers that help keep you sober (Congratulations on the 5 days). and ...
The bible will help you grow in all other areas, as well as build you up into a stronger Christian.

Welcome to SR. Congrads on 5 days of sobriety. With AA and new faith combined you can take it one day at a time and keep adding up the days.
