New here but 12 years sober

I am new here and I am very glad to have found you.
I have been sober for 12 years. Recently, I found myself caught up in some behaviors that could lead me back to a drink. I am trying to turn my focus back to my complete sobriety, family and true friends. I look forward to spending time here.

Congratulations on all the sober time. I joined SR last week for similar reasons. I've been sober for 2+ years, but I could see the drink returning to my life if I didn't make some changes.

Good to see someone who has so much sober time. You're an inspiration!

You've come to the right place and we're glad to have you. Every time I feel like slipping, I log in, and read for a while, and I feel so much better. Keep posting, and someone is always on to listen. xoxo

Hi Dini, welcome to SR! This is a great place to be. Congrats on your sober life! I never did any kind of formal recovery program and have been sober for 3 yrs. W/O SR I might be inclined to take my sobriety for granted which could lead to slipping so I visit here often and it's great for keeping me on track.

Thanks for posting, it's not only inspirational, it reminds me that 12 days or 12 years the addiction is still trying to kick the door down. Welcome to SR, this is a terrific forum.
