Hi FridayJude - so glad you feel this is the place for you. I instantly felt relief when I found SR 4 yrs. ago. The people here encouraged and uplifted me in a way no one else did. I was able to stop a life long drinking habit.
I never imagined that I'd be able to live without alcohol. How could anything ever be fun or exciting again? Then I realized it had probably been 20 years since drinking had actually been fun and carefree. Even though I'd tried to find that early euphoria, I knew in my heart it wasn't coming back. All attempts at moderating failed, so giving it up all together was my only option. I went from being bitter and resentful to being filled with hope and joy once again.
Glad you are here - we're happy to be on this journey with you.
