For an hour about, I visit four SR threads I'm comfortable with. Try to help other people visiting and reading.
In AA, for me, it's all about putting down the drink for good, committing to a life plan of working the steps and doing service and 12th step work.
I understand AA can be difficult, the organization admits this itself, and many many people are not willing to do what it takes. I think it is the best way to go even though the percentage of those starting recovery and remain sober their whole lives seems very low.
I am more open about my sobriety, either by adding a photo. for an avatar, revealing more of who I am, what I do. I also post on FB when a week checks off. Feel free to drop me a line or add as a friend.
Also, hitting bottom as far as alcohol goes helps determine our willingness. I've dragged this barrel along the bottom for decades.
Well I'm with you whatever you do....you deserve recovery!
