Post Sober since April 1

Hi,
Yes, yes. My sobriety date is April Fools day. But then again, easy to remember.

I just found this forum, registered ASAP.

I just finished my 90 in 90. I don't go to a meeting every day now, but I try to make it to at least 3 a week. I am looking for meetings that are either STEP or MENS ONLY. The 2 mens only meetings I go to are the most productive ones I attend. One is an accountability and the other is a Step meeting. Both allow crosstalk.

Hope to participate more after lurking a while to get a feel of the place.

Thanks

Hey Badger...welcome! This is a fantastic place for support, wisdom, guidance..and recovery.

Forgive me ..but your screenname reminded me of below. I used to sell Toyota..and myself and coworkers just used to howl over these commercials...not anything to do with drinking (although our addiction is just as pushy as this badger)...but a laugh goes a long way.

April fools day is my fantasy sober date, but I'm not changin mine. Nope, no matter how appealin it may be. Seems most appropriate for me though.

Good work on the 90 in 90. All the best to you.

Hi and welcome. I stopped drinking and using drugs (except for my cup of tea) in late March. We're in the same ballpark. You've probably learned a lot along the way. Please keep posting and spread some of your experiences.

Thank you all for welcoming me. And thanks for suggesting I go to a BigBook study meeting. I will try to make my 3rd meeting of the week a BigBook meeting.

I am currently on my 3rd step study mode. I am journaling about it like the devil. I will post some of my ruminations when I have it more organized.
