I was desperate when I found SR - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

I was desperate to stay sober but kept relapsing. Well, now, after being here three years I finally have 18 months sober!!

It IS possible for an old relapser like me to finally stay sober and be happy about it.

I owe a huge debt of love and gratitude to SR for the kindness and support I've always found here.

wonderful, I think of the time when I never thought I'd stay sober for a day, let alone over the period I've now been sober, so I share your joy, it's a remarkable achievment, for any recovering alcoholic, great!!!!
