Hi, I'm new

Hello,

I am excited to have joined this community. I've been looking for support online and this seems like a real supportive group of wonderful people.

My first day of sobriety is August 27, 2010, so I believe as of today is 17 days sober. Wine and Rum are poisons.

It's tough and I've only been to a handful of AA meetings but I just don't feel comfortable at the meetings. I'm glad to be here and hope to find support and friendships.

Theresa

Welcome!

I don't have enough experience to know if wine and rum are poisons, but I do know that vodka is made by the devil himself.

17 days is a great start!

Welcome and you have our support and there is so much info to be found here.

Wine and rum were my choice as well but no longer.

Keep it going and know that sobriety and a positive lifestyle is a reality

Glad you are here

Welcome! I know that diet coke gives me a great feeling without the rum, my recycle bin tells me so.
