Should I just start posting in my "section" alcoholism. I mean I am still green with only a month under my belt. But...I am not feeling like I did the first week?

You can post wherever you want.

In the beginning, I posted in the Newcomer's section to learn and get support...

...Two years sober, I continue to post to provide information and lend support.

That's funny. I'm over a year sober and some days, feel like an old timer. Others, I feel like a complete newbie. I dunno when you are no longer a newcomer!

There's no sobertime requirements for posting anywhere on SR (outside of the Stories of Recovery forum which is one year+)

Post wherever you feel comfortable

I'm always going to be a newcomer. I feel at home here.

At SR there isn't a requirement. Although I have heard in the fellowship that once you hit 5 years you're no longer a newcomer.

Some of the "old timers" in my AA group say that they will always be "new comers". They say that it keeps them from forgetting what is was like in early sobriety.It is good to let go of the pain, but they say that it is bad to forget it, because it can "lead you right back out the door" if you do. I am extremely early in sobriety too, but I hope to always keep a little of that new comer feeling.

SPREAD YOUR WINGS!!!!!!!!!! I think I was back a couple of days and I was in Alcoholics, Women's and even LGBT section... and I'm straight (very big supporter though )

There are a lot of different forums of great interest, dip your toes.

Newcomers is always a place where everyone is welcome and safe. As long as you want to hang out here, you are more than welcome to stay.
