Hi Joygirl! Welcome and and congrats on 42 days! Glad you are here.
I'm in the early stages of sobriety as well and have found SR to be a fantastic support system. I personally don't belong to AA or any groups etc. and have been doing my sobriety on my own. There are so many others here who are going through a similar journey and it's a great place to share stories, ideas and feedback and know that you're not alone in recovery.
