Hello to All - My First Post

Hello to All,

Just to say I am very happy to have found this site. I have just returned from a Rehab-Clinic in the United Kingdom where I completed Steps 1,2 and 3. My Sobriety date is Friday 11th Jan 2013. I live in Croatia and there are not many meetings here (Early Days) and with a language barrier, I decided to join your forum. Could anyone recommend any safe Good quality online AA meetings/rooms. I have attended many Rooms Face to face during Rehab and when in the UK, but at the moment my choices are limited. My drug of choice is alcohol.

Kind Regards

Macc

Welcome Macc66! There is a daily thread for the Class of Jan 2013 - all of us who got sober in January 2013, we're a great bunch, feel free to join us!
I'm not an AA-er so can't help you there but there are many on this board who do follow that program, so I'm sure they can give you some info on that.
Glad to have you aboard!
Here is where you will find the Jan 2013 thread!

Welcome Macc!

Congratulations on your sober time! This is a great place and I think you'll find lots of inspiration and support here (like I have). We have a 12-step support forum you might want to check out:
Alcoholism-12 Step Support - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Also, here's a directory for resources, including some online info:
SoberRecovery : Directory Drug Addiction, Alcoholism and Mental Health Service Providers

Glad you're here!

Hi Macc!

Welcome to SoberRecovery!

I'll get right to the point here: SR is a good place for 12th-Step work. Please post often and give support to those in need--it will keep you strong!

And welcome from me too, macc, all the way from Australia. This is a truly global community - you're in great company!

I think from memory that AA does have an e-site for e-meetings. Just google it. That could be an adjunct to SR 12 Step forums.
