I remember when I first came to SR. Hearing from people that had sober time was very important to me. I needed them. Dee is one inparticular that was about a year sober about the time I got here....I hung on to every word he said!
And now I come because I really want people to know sobriety can happen. You can be a 30 year drunk and turn your life around. There IS hope. You can do this.
Oh, and I also come to newcomers because Newcomers help me with my sobriety as well. It is a journey.
