Karthur, I discovered SR 11 days ago. I haven't had a drink since then. This is my first attempt at sobriety in 20 years, and the longest I have gone without drinking in.....forever. I have relied heavily on the people here. I have found people in varying degrees of recovery, varying degrees of despair and hope. But I haven't happened upon a creep, a stalker, or a predator yet. No advertising, no ulterior motives. Just a lot of people who understand and support you. Good luck and welcome to SR. I hope you stick around.
