Cool Class of July 2008 Club
I've seen so many who got clean this month I decided to start a new thread for us. I already have a few new friends. Could always use more. We are the Class of July 2008. We all share July 2008 as our starting point. I would like to see all of us keep these dates. I figure this thread can be just one more support network. A place to check in or to post about how your doing.. Good or bad. Espeacially when it gets slippery. Post about it. Post your sobriety/clean date. My name is Mike. I am an addict. My Clean date is 7-13-2008 I have 9 days today.

Good idea Mikey!

Those who know me call me DC - hence the DreamChaser handle. I'm 7 days sober and my sobriety date is 7/15/08.

Feeling real good about life and enjoying my time with my SR peeps!

Lets do it. That was my main reason for starting this. Post your date and post whats going on. Good or bad. The good can be inspiring and the bad can bring support. I know in the beginning it can get tough at times. Anyway, welcome everyone.

This is exactly what Im hoping for. I wanna see us all keep these dates. If you feel an urge or obsession to use or drink, think about this thread. Most of all, if possible pick up the phone too.

Hey this is a good idea for a thread. Hi I am Felicia and I am an alcoholic. My sobriety date is 7/10/08. Having a pretty hard time right now, but I will not drink today. I should be getting some work done but I am just too lazy. I know that I would feel better if I just worked myself until I fell from exhaustion, then I really wouldnt want to drink, but again, not into it today.
