Hi my name is Jocelyn, and I am an alcoholic!

Boy where those words so hard to say for the very first time. It felt like I was being stabbed in the chest by a very dull object. I have 24 days of sobriety and I have attended 28 AA meetings. I have a sponsor and I am serious about my steps. I love this site and reading everything because I cannot always go to a meeting when I need one and this is a great tool to have for those moments! I am glad to meet everyone and look forward to taking this journey with you!

To know where you are coming from, along with the repercussions of staying where you were, is the major step. Keep up the good work, along with your guard.

Hello Jocelyn:
Sounds like you are on the right track. AA is the answer for me as well.

All the best.

Hi Jocelyn. Great job on your 24 days sober. SR helped get me sober and keep me in line. I found it very comforting to be here. The support and encouragement is amazing. Glad you are here.

You are all so wonderful! Some days are better than others, but I keep my nose in the Big Blue book and use my call list if I have too. I have met so many friends it's really comforting! I think the biggest comfort is knowing I am not alone. I am not the only one who thinks these things or feels these things. I get my 30 day chip on Saturday and I am SO STOKED! Waking up without a hangover and having energy throughout the day has been so awesome! I even got to chair an AA meeting on Sunday! What a rush! I came across this site looking for some inspiration on my first 3 steps and I am SO glad I did! Reading these is better than a meeting sometimes! And I don't have to hear the old timer ramble on for ten minutes lol!

Yes indeed it has! After saying it the first time, it feels therapeutic to say it! Keeps me on track and honest! And I can't forget my name either
