New here...

Hello,
I am an attempting-to-stay-sober middle aged mom (2 teen boys, 18 and 16). Married to an angry, unsupportive husband of 18 years. Just looking for support and a way to vent without getting into hot water.
Thanks,
Overwhelmd

Glad to have you here.

This is probably the kindest, most supportive community I've come across on the net, and I've been a member of quite a few forums over the years. Welcome aboard!

Welcome Overwhelmd. You found a great place for encouragement. I had no support or understanding until I came here. I hope you'll say with us and keep posting. We want to help.

I just want to thank everyone, especially in the chat room, who helped me get through last night and make it to day 8 of sobriety. I feel like I have found a really safe place here.
