In my opinion, whether you are a newcomer or someone with some time under your belt, all of us benefit from each other's struggles and successes. I like coming to the newcomer's section because it constantly keeps me grounded. Reading the struggles that the newcomer's go through helps me remember that I was there not too long ago and I can end up back there if I drink.
This might be controversial but I think no addict is ever cured. If you are truly an addict, which I am, I will always be battling addictions until the day I die. Until that day, I will take one day at a time. For me, I need some form of fellowship every single day to keep me on the right path. So for all the people who are on day 1, 2, 3 or even 4, I thank you for having the courage to post on here because you are helping me even if you dont realize it.
