Welcome!
I joined this community 8 weeks ago and have been sober since. the people here have given me focus, support, and knowledge. I supply the desire. It has worked. Because I live remotely, AA is not an option right now. I can't let that get in my way or give me an excuse.
You sound genuinely committed to changing your life. It is far easier to do so when there are others who are sharing in that experience. One reason that this place is so effective (for me) is that I am able to interact with people who are living with recovery in all stages. I get to help and be helped.
I hope to see you here often and for a long time. As you will see, it is inspiring to watch the progress of others as you share your own.
Good luck!
