Hey There ----
Welcome to SR, youdneverknow....there are lots of good recovering/recovered folks here.....from substance abuse, from alcohol specifically, from codependence, and alanon and naranon.....this is truly a great place, for any and all.....
Besides reading and posting here, I don't know if you're interested in AA, but whatever you've heard in the past (be it good or bad), you might just want to go over to their website.....:
Alcoholics Anonymous : There's lots of information there...what it is, is it for you....you can also download and read the first 164pages of AA's BB (Big Book; they're basic text), and you can also download and read most (if not all) of their pamphlets too.....very kewl....we used to have to find a meeting and hope they had the pamphlets, and then scrape together the $$.....ahhhhh, the good ole dayz.....lol Their site will also help you if you're interested in finding meetings close to where you are.
Now, don't be put off; if AA is not your cup of tea, there are a couple of good forums right here on this site.....: Christians in Recovery (if that's your belief); Spirituality; Secular Connections; and Secular 12-Step Recovery....to name a few..... (o:
...and there are also other recovery methods (recovery truly is NOT a one size fitz all world...lol).....: Rational Recovery, Smart Recovery, LifeRing, Women For Sobriety....All their infor is around and about on the internet.....
Well, welcome to the rest of your life.....sober.....and happy hunting.... (o:
