I知 back, again.

Hi guys,

My name is Jade. I started posting here a long time ago. Back when I was wondering if I was maybe sorta an alcoholic and if so, how do I stop? Wait... it gets worse? I can never drink again?

For years after my first post I proceeded to stumble around causing wreckage and damage everywhere I went. Mostly to myself. My posts are sporadic and inconsistent.

It was a lot of trial and error. Mostly error. A lot of failures and a lot of spiritual awakenings.

I have almost two years of sobriety now and I want to say thank you. For being patient with me and my denials. Answering questions. Reasoning with my AV. Explaining the disease of alcoholism. And just generally being my tribe until I could make it on my own.

To all the newcomers, it gets better. It gets more amazing than you could ever believe possible.

Oh, yay! You were in my Class of March 2014 thread here for a while.

I'm so happy you've found your life again. I sometimes wonder about the people who came and went in that thread. It was so helpful for me to have that tribe. Good word.

Congratulations on two years of sobriety, Jade!

I have found SR to be an invaluable support group through my journey as well.

Thanks for coming back and letting us know you made it two years!
