New to forum; 4 months into sobriety

Hey all.

Like the title states I'm new here and I'm working on my fourth month of sobriety. I've been looking for a place online to meet and talk to people who were going through the same issues and problems as me and it's nice to see there is one out there.

I hope to visit frequently and post a lot too. If I could I'd like to make this a regular page for me to visit.

-Matt

Hey matt,
i am on my third day of sobriety and my second day here. I have been reading these threads for the past thirty hours because i am basically holding myself up in the house. it's been a huge help.

Glad you made it here also. Good luck

Hey horton. Glad to hear. Congratulations on three days. No small feat. I'm glad you made it here also. If you need anything just drop me a PM or shoot me a message on AIM.

Welcome aboard, Matt. I'm on day 2 here. I haven't had 4 months sobriety since before I started drinking at the age of 13. Great job. Thanks for joining.

Great to see ya here Horton and SecretMuffin (great name!)

And Cherry, I'm scared of the end of the honeymoon period too, not there yet but have experienced it before, when sobriety becomes routine and you can't remember how truly dire things were when you were drinking. Gonna have a look at PAWS, haven't heard that one before.

You know that you're doing the right thing for yourself and 'This too shall pass'. Hang in there.
