Hi! Been here before....

I tried unsuccesfully to stop drinking several times. It took a trip to a detox and rehab place (for 2 weeks and a day) and now with the help of that and AA I am 26 days sober and hoping for many more.

I was NOT a believer but now I am. AA is a Godsend - it really works. I look forward to meetings and I have made new friends.

Sobriety is amazing!

That is so inspiring. I really need to hear something like that right now.
I have been so reluctant to go to any kind of meeting. I have never been. But I hear I should. I am really trying to get the courage to go. You just made me that much more closer to actually making it to one.
Great job on the clean time. Keep it up!!

Hello Vodkaaddict,

I love reading posts that encourage sobriety while attending AA meetings...For myself, recovery has been possible by attending them and coming here.

Keep posting and congrats on your sobriety....

I still attend meetings even after 16 months clean. Most of us do. Why should I try to change something that is working. Hope that each of us get another day clean
