Smile New here...
Hey all... let me tell you, it's been a hesitation to sign up but I finally did it ..and here I am.. I'm a few weeks into being sober from drinking heavily over the past few years... I'm on probation (for a non-drinking offense) and I believe I hit rock bottom for a reason.. My time was up and I needed a wake up call... I really hope to gain new perspectives and assist others as well.. I wake up every morning feeling great that I hadn't drank the night before..

Although I see a shrink every so often I tend to believe this is better... :-) Once again, thanks for putting these forums up... :-)

You're in the right place. Keep coming back

Congrats on your sober time, btw.

And yeah, everything does happen for a reason.

That's for damn sure

We understand because we have been there and have the hard won knowledge of experience.
