I read a lot more than I post here. The encouragement that you can receive from total strangers is just something special. I see folks that have beat the demon and been sober for years and that tells me that it can be done. It's totally possible if you really want it. I want it oh so bad and am more determined than ever to one day be able to say I've been sober for years like so many others. In a strange way even though you don't know anyone personally it almost feels like you do. Like a big family here on SR willing to encourage and help each other along the way. Day 18 today and feeling better than I have in a while that's for sure. I'm enjoying my new healthy lifestyle.
