What I Really Like...

about this site is the fact that it keeps my mind on my problem. I work from home....alone 2-4 days a week. Wife goes to work, son goes to school, and although I had never been a person to imbibe during the day too much previously, about three years ago it seemed like a good idea to have a beer or 2 with lunch which escalated to sometimes 12-15 drinks before I went to coach youth sports at 5PM. Next I found it a way to avoid my job and to kill the boredom when I was avoiding my job. Being that I am in sales, and have a good regular stream of business from many of my long time accounts, it was real easy for me to get on the computer or sit in front of the TV and be lazy and drink without too many financial repercussions. Having a place like this that I can come to when I get bored instead of reaching for the bottle is a Godsend. Although my sobriety has only been 8 days now, I can see how this site will truly be a useful tool for the rest of my life. I would like to thank whoever created it and those who keep it running!

Thank you Debs! It is a wonderful site, and it is quite motivational to see all the others who are also striving for daily sobriety. It makes me feel like I am not alone!

Supercrew you sound EXACTLY like me. I own my own small business and work from a home based shop and I found everything you just said to be very true for me as well.

You'll find this place helps tons if you keep coming on the site. I usually check it 10-12 times a day and it always helps to keep me on the right track. I'm sure you will find the same to be true.

Congrats on the 8 days stick with it.

Steve

Thanks DW! It's funny how things can spiral out of control when you are alone. This seems to be a place that makes me feel not alone even when I am. Since I have joined I think I have been here at least 20 times a day. You can't ask for stronger support than that unless you were living in a sober living community. Thanks again!

SR?


What keeps me involved is the opportunity to support
people seeking a non drinking healthy life.

I an now physically limited so I'm in and out several
times daily. I use SR as a viital supplement to my
f2F AA program.

What makes SR so special? Our awesome members!
everyone for being here for me!
Yall give me purpose and joy.
