Newpathway, if you want to create your own thread, click on the forum where you want to post it (like Newcomers to Recovery) and then near the top left hand of the listings, you'll see a button that says "New Thread" -- it's that easy! Another way to get support is to join one of the daily support groups, like the group for the month you quit -- July? -- or the One Year and Over Daily Support Club -- it's found here:

I sympathize with everyone who's quitting after many years of hard drinking. The last couple of years have been harder -- and more personally rewarding -- than any other time of my life. I think people our age -- I'm 51 btw -- have different challenges than younger people who aren't so settled in life & their ways, but we also have some advantages -- we have a better sense of what's at stake, for one thing.
This thread is a major hit! Keep it coming, beautiful people!
