Welcome jligllc

SR really helped me turn my life around.

There was something about being with people who understood my problem that made me feel accountable to them, even when I didn't always feel accountable to my real life friends and family.

I was totally honest here and the folks here still had confidence in me - pretty soon I gained confidence in myself and my own ability to stay sober..

Over time that accountability and that self growth extended to my real life and my friends and family in a way it hadn't for a very long time.

I rediscovered a me I'd forgotten about and a courage I'd forgotten I had.

To me it's not too much to say I fully embraced my adulthood after coming here

Glad to have you join us.
