New to this site - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

RayRayRay · 04-28-2008, 09:20 PM

My name's Rae and I'd just like to introduce myself.
I've been clean and sober now for 18 amazing months - Which is about 17 months longer than I ever dreamt possible!

I have been experiencing some stressful (but not harmful) situations lately that trigger the urge to use. Cleaning up was the best thing I ever did for myself and yet, the desire for intoxication can be persuasive.
I don't ever want to return to where I was 2 years ago so when I happened along this site tonight I thought I should stop in and say "Hello"

Welcome, Rae. I'm a newbie here, too. I am 17 days sober, so I've still got a long way to go. There are a lot of helpful people here, from what I've seen so far. Good luck to you!
