It's great to have you join us! This place & these amazing people have helped set me straight - and keep me sober for 3 years today! Could not have done it without the support & courage I found here - no one in my life understood what I was going through. Keep talking to us & let us know how you're doing.

WC,
That's exactly one of the reasons SR helps me in recovery. Working nights (6-2am) knocks out some meetings; and it's tough to get to earlier am meetings. F2F and SR is a nice balance , for sure !

Welcome,

We are open anytime of the day or night, and you can always find someone to talk to here. We do understand how hard this is.

It's great here.

At night, when I have the urge to pour myself a drink, I can come here and forget all about drinking...

Hi Whiskey Chopper!!! So glad you are here...it is true..someone is always here day or night. When I first got here it was LATE and just a few people were on. Dee told me to hang on..the Europeans would be coming in soon ..and ..they came! I think I was on almost all night when I first found SR. I live here now too. Welcome!!!
