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: |
% - percentage of my sobriety owed to this site ? I would say that on this early Sunday morning it would be 75% MB |
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 |

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. |
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%. M-Bob |
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! |
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...... |
