Glad to be back!
Thought I would officially join the July 2012 class, I have been sober since July 22! I haven't really had a computer to use until now, and am so glad to be able to log on and say hello. This is the longest I have ever been sober in the past 14 years. It feels amazing. I have to admit, I couldn't do it on my own, after my third DUI, a felony, I was accepted into "wellness court" and in this program, its just not possible to drink, thank God. It's been work, a lot of hard, hard work, but worth everything. My sobriety is worth all that I lost, and all that I sacrifice daily. I have a new life. :-)
I am lonely at times, at home, like now, late at night. Am happy I finally have a computer and can connect with others online. I do have a lot of people in my life, I am not using this to isolate or anything, just another way to reach out and know that I am not alone.
I will have to spend some time reading the boards, get caught up and see what it's been like for others.
Glad to be back!
~hugs!~
