Smile New to the Site - Looking for support

Hi all,

I am 5 days sober after almost 4 years of sobriety. I had two relapses in the past month, and I'm tired. I'm looking forward to getting to know some of you and learn your stories as I've found that's how I learn the most about myself.

I'm learning to be a better listener, and I hope to read and write stories of inspiration and small milestones.

Fecta

Hi Fecta - I had over 6 years sober before I picked up - it has taken me over 4.5 years to really want to get sober again (alot longer than you!). BUT I do know how good life can be when I'm sober, I do have experience with enjoying simplicity in life, I do know that when I'm sober I have so much more self-respect and confidence. I'm sure you learnt alot too during your sobriety. Welcome to SR.

Fetca, I had 2-1/2 years a year ago, not sure what happened, so we start again, this time with that lesson in our tool box, we can learn from it.

Welcome to SR!
