We are celebrating our SR birthday today...
8 years of sharing and caring!

It's amazing how many people we have touched
and in turn....
been supported by their knowledge and experience
Sharing recovery is the mission of SR.

A special thanks to our owners, The Mulligan Group
for allowing our site to stay on line as we continue to grow.

Each member here is a valueable asset to our purpose...and
Yes! we can and do recover.

The Sober Recovery Team

Hi Everyone...

When I came to SR I was not new to recovery sites
or my personal recovery.
Something was special here...
a sense of community.

It quickly became a vital
supplement to my F2F AA program.

SR members....

Forward we go...side by side

I'm grateful to SR and to all the people who have been a part of my life since I"ve been a part of SR!!! We've gone through some rocky times, and yes, some fun times too!
Remember the Round Up in NYC!
You all have touched my heart and soul in ways you'll never know.

So, Happy Birthday, SR!!!!

May you be around many more years
So that the recovery can continue!

Shalom!

SR is home to me and has been for just over five years.

I came here to seek support and I found so much love, hope and inspiration.

We are all so blessed to have each other, and a special thank-you to The Mulligan Group.

I found SR 6 yrs ago when I was awake at 3 a.m, desperate to find information about how to cope with the addictive behaviors running rampant in a loved one.

And thank GOD I found SR. Today my recovery is stronger than ever. I have a wonderful circle of cyber friends who will put me back on the right track when I start to take a detour. I'm confident some of my SR recovery friends will be in my life forever.

Thanks to all of you for being here, for sharing your struggles as well as your experience, strength and hope. Thanks to the Mulligan Group for their continued support.

Happy Birthday SR
I just don't know how I would be doing if I had not found you all. Being here is helping me get my voice back and that's just one perk being sober has given me through this site. It seems so inadequate to just say thank you..but THANK YOU!!! And THANK YOU Mulligan Group!!

Happy Birthday to SR and thanks to The Mulligan Group!

I can honestly say that SR has been a major part of my recovery and without it and the friends I've made here, I don't know that I would be where I am today. Happy and alcohol free .

I have such deep gratitude for SR., that it is difficult to explain...

Coming here and attending AA, has literally saved my life...

today! Thank you all for being a part of my life/recovery and all the people that keep
this place up and running you are truly amazing,
THANK YOU
