New is scary

This is a new one for me. I am a recovering alcoholic. Just over 6 years. I tried a couple of days ago to come online but I chickened out. But today I had a flash.. an ugly one. I for a brief moment actually thought about going out for a drink. I haven't been there for many a year. Scared the b-jesus outta me. But since I've had a lot of firsts in my time I figured I could do this first too. So here I am. Be gentle. LOL

Welcome and congratulations on the years collected.
You will find many wonderful people here. We don't bite
*well maybe just that one person over there....>* *LOL*

Pull up a chair, look about, ask questions if wanted.
Most of all enjoy. There is much here and I am sure you will like it.

Oh Nettie...I'm so glad you got over your fear of coming online here. You're in for an uplifting experience... especially if you're having addiction flashbacks. Welcome.

Welcome

Glad to have you here. I'm pretty new at this myself but I have already made some friends here. I only have 43 days clean and sober today, but I can tell you that my life would be much worse if I was still using.

Lots of friendly and helpful people here. Keep comming back.

Welcome Nettie, I'm Marty. I'll admit I "lurked" here for a good while before I actually posted somthing. Being social - even in an ananymous fashion like here - can be difficult for some of us. We are here to support eachother through the journey of recovery from our various addictions. Welcome
