Smile hi there

I'm new to this site, and just wanted to say hi. I've had alcohol problems for over 8 years and although sometimes I do well there are bad times. I'm hoping reaching out to people here and hearing stories of success and getting advice will help me to stay sober.

:-)

Good for you. You have come to the right place. How long have you been sober so far? I'm at Day 5 this round, but I've started AA for the first time and I feel very strong. What is your support system?

Welcome DuChen - Reaching out for support is a great first step! I found it impossible to quit on my own so this forum has been a real inspiration for me.

Hope to hear more from you!

Hi DuChen! It's great you found us. I had alcohol problems at a young age, but refused to admit it. I was able to manage my drinking back then, but over the years my life spun out of control.

I hope you'll find the help you need here - you are no longer alone with your problems. Please keep posting - we care!

Hi Duchen, welcome, I have only been here a few days but cant speak highly enough of the place, a lot of caring people here, and thats really great when you want to get sober.

Please keep us updated on your progress. And I am sure you will hear a lot of success stories here, because the human spirit is the strongest thing around IMHO and can overcome anything.
