Hi, and welcome!

Know what? My ex-husband got sober when he was 21, and in January he will celebrate 31 years sober! Back when he started, in 1980, there were relatively few people his age, and his nickname in the rooms was "Young Frank".

He made it to 30 years by not drinking, one day at a time, going to meetings, working the Steps, and working with other alcoholics. He still sponsors a slew of guys. His successful recovery, and that of many others I've had the good fortune to know over the years, inspired me to come into AA for myself two years ago.

You have a beautiful life ahead of you by dealing with this now.

Glad to have you here.
