hey everyone

Hi, everyone I am new to this sure and to active recovery. I've been sober quite a few times, but never had an active plan for my recovery. I've got plenty of stuff to let go of mentally, just like any other person in pain. I am ready to heal finally. I hope to utilize this board as another tool in my recovery tool box. Thanks everyone- lg2015

Welcome, lettinggo SR will be a wonderful tool if you use it regularly. It has been a major factor in my recovery. Read lots, post lots and be ready to learn from others. There are some amazing people here!

^^^ thank you. I'm going to be involved in my recovery this round bc that's something I've neglected to do when I was sober before.

Hey Letting,

Welcome. You mentioned having lots of stuff to let go off and tools for recovery. The mental noise can sure get in the way. Just a thought:

Meditation.

It's like the number one thing for me for staying sane and for not using "stuff", which is a great place to start. :-)

HI lg2015,

When I arrived on SR's doorstep, I had packed my bags but could not figure out exactly where to go.

Turns out the doorstep was a great place to be!

Welcome to the forum and some great voices and advice.

Thanks everyone. I am going to start a thread in the appropriate sub forum once I start my detox from sub ...which is most likely tomorrow once I speak with my therapist. Also, I have been reading up on meditation and found some good stuff about it. Just can't watch videos due to only having access through mobile. Thanks again for the warm welcome. I did not expect so many replies so fast
