Hello Recoverers!
Hi everyone, thought I would check in since I am new.
My name is Joe and I have been in recovery now for 160 days today! Seems like forever ago that I stopped drinking, but in reality it hasn't been that long.
I was attending AA for a while, but I stopped going because I just couldn't get past the first step. Perhaps the steps aren't for me, but that is what the whole program is based on. Not going to bad mouth anything about the program since it helped me to get and stay sober this long. I actually recommend it to anyone new who is struggling.
Well looks like I'll be doing a ton of reading to get caught up. I am really hoping to use this site for when I have an urge to drink and also to learn from others who have managed to stay sober for a while.
Anyhow, nice to meet you all!
..Joe
