Welcome, ng55, and congratulations on 17 days!!!
When I first landed at SoberRecovery, I spent so much time pouring over the copious threads and stickies. I quickly discovered that this place is a gold mine of information, wisdom, and support.
I still spend time everyday reading and posting at SR, it is like my home away from home
What really cemented my sobriety was a complete and utter acceptance of the fact that I am unable to drink normally and that will never change, no matter how long I stay sober.
More folk will be along to share their collective wisdom
