new to the forum

Hi everyone. I'm very grateful to have found this place. I hit my rock bottom with alcohol on New Year's Eve, and I've been sober since January 1. I also have a big problem with binge eating, and since I've already binged today, my all-encompassing sobriety date will be tomorrow, January 6.

I'm really looking forward to talking to everyone. Thank you for being here!

January 6th, the eve of January 7th is Orthodox Christmas. Makes for a nice sign-post. Good Luck!:day1

Welcome BrandNewMia!

You're making a great decision for yourself! I remember my day 1 very well and how important it was to be able to come here and talk to people who understand what it's like. Glad you've joined us!

Hi BrandNewMia,

I am new to this board but the first step is saying you are starting and take action.

Hang in there.

Have you found a group for your binge eating?

Thanks for all of the welcomes! It really means a lot to have such an active community.

gigi, I see that there's an eating disorders board here in the special interest groups. For now I'm just lurking about in there. I travel often and tend to have a night-owl schedule, so I think that online support will work better for me than in person. The internet is always open, thankfully!
