Time to Make a Change

Hi,
I'm Patrick and I'm an alcoholic. And I'm ready to be better. I'm ready to make a change. I want to be a better son, a better brother, and a better friend. I know I can do this, but I also know that it's the hardest thing I will ever do. I really look forward to talking to all of you more.

Thank you.

Welcome Patrick, you are in a great place to get support. There is tons of helpful people around here. Read up and get acclimated.

You might want to come join in the January class. These are folks that have resolved to quit this month. There is tons of support there also.http://http://www.soberrecovery.com/...rt-2-a-24.html

Good luck!

Thanks so much. I know this sounds like not a big deal, but this is the first time in four years that I have been sober for more than 36 hours and I am just kind of starting to really feel things again. It's hard, and I know I've just begun a long journey, but I want this so bad.

Hey Patrick - I'm Colton - also an alcoholic! We already have something in common.
And you're right - it is not a big deal... It is a HUGE deal... Very glad you're here and look forward to seeing you around!

Welcome Patrick! You're doing a wonderful thing for yourself. This is a great place to share what you're going through with people who really understand. You're right - you can do this!
