I was sober 20 years before discovering this forum.

This is my only tool and for me, it holds me accountable. And I am so grateful for my sobriety.

I just joined with 2 years sobriety & already had some tools to help cope from the few AA meetings . In reality I did it on my own .
I do wish I had known about SR before - Like 10 + years ago . I may not have messed up my family .
I live alone & like it that way ( Now ) Sobriety gave me Peace . It does seem nice to interact with others that are fighting along side me .
For what I have seen SR helps sooo many , I would give 50% to always be able to come here If or Maybe I fall to ask for a Hand Up again :grouphug:

I would say that on this early Sunday morning it would be 75%

I love zjw's point, I never thought I would post anywhere, but now that i do I realise how much it helps me to get it out there.

Somehow just writing it down can be so soothing.

Thanks to everyone.

Not an easy question: I opted for the 40%-60% which is higher than I would give AA and pretty pleasing to me.:lmao

I'm running in about the same spot and also attend AA.

This site is great day or night.

There is absolutely no way I could have done it without finding this forum.

Not quite sure how to assign a percentage, but I can tell you that this place is very important to me and my sobriety. We understand each other's struggles, because we have all been there. That's a big deal to me. Sometimes, when someone is having a especially difficult time, I just want to hug them and tell them it will be OK. So yes, this site is a rock for me. Hopefully as I am guided and helped by this site, in some small way I am returning the favor.

I note a very high perecentage appear to be almost dependent on this site. That is a big responsibility for the site owners.

AAPJ 12-27-2015 03:46 AM

I am not sure how to assign a percentage to this site so I did not vote. But I'm here reading quietly this Sunday morning. To me that's what matters most.

Top Third
 
Definitely in the top third. Since I found the site yesterday and in a few minutes I'll have made it through day three. Thanks all!

I'm an expat in a rural non-English speaking country with a big drinking culture. This site helped me greatly initially then the bonds I make/made continue to help me. Apart from this site the depth of where drinking takes me is a secret. Couldn't of done it without it.

% - percentage of my sobriety owed to this site ?
 
Changes each day and each week.
This past week I was on vacation in the desert.
I was on this site a lot -- maybe 10 to 15 times a day.

% - percentage of my sobriety owed to this site ?
For that week would be proxy 75%.

Great post, Bob!

AA and SR are very important in my recovery, I need both to stay grounded!

Special shoutout to Dee, Anna, Least and Scott for making it all possible!! Thanks, team!

spadge 02-21-2016 11:38 PM

I became a member six years ago but only started posting this last week after I prayed to God for help. So I would say 100% to both SR and God. U have probably saved my life! And I will be foreva grateful.

Day 7 and counting......

I agree with you today although mine are in slightly different order.
I hope that you have continued on from your sober day 7 there.
