I am new here

I have been sober for 41 happy days and looking for more ... I also have recently been diagnosed with cancer .. It scared the crap out of me but I have learned to except what is on my plate and dealing with it with out the drink... I f I had been diagnosed when I was drinking I am sure I would be so drunk now I would never wake up.. But to because of AA and a good support group around me I can face this head on...

Welcome, Bigs!

Congratulations on the 41 days and all the power to you as you fight the cancer in addition to addiction.

Adding you to my prayer list, too.

Hugs,

Liz
