Im here because god directed me here. I asked him for a new life without drinking. He gave it to me. SR is my opportunity to give back. I need the advice and the people here. Sobriety is a gift folks. SR is our way of giving. I love you all.

For me it's the fact that I can speak my mind with no judgement and feel understood. I can say what I need to get out and get responses from all points of view. I could never talk like I do here in my real life. I honestly believe that it has helped me achieve my sobriety. I also love that I can come here anytime and find support. It also reinforces my decision.
It has helped me change my life. I don't feel alone, ever!

SR has been so encouraging to me. Also, I have found that, in the past, when I wasn't sincere about sobriety/recovery I slipped away and didn't frequent the site. This time around I am here several times a day, which tells me that I am sincere about it, I am not hiding from myself and my addiction. That's how I see it anyway...

I'm here several times a day too and am so grateful for it. I stumbled upon the site by accident, when checking out the physical symptoms of early sobriety ( 6 weeks....woo HOO!). The reassurance I found helped me beyond measure.
The thing I value most is the fact that this community comprises " veterans", who are both non- judgemental and experienced, together with newbies looking for advice and support, plus those trying again to achieve sobriety .
A great international mix, I'm so grateful to have found you.
Thanks.

Shoot for that 6 months, it's just around the corner for you.

I just joined this site today and its kind of difficult for me to navigate. I'm sure I will figure it out eventually.... So far I love what I am reading and its amazing to read all the stories of hope and recovery.
