Hello Everyone,
My name is Sandy alcoholic for about 15 years. I started drinking as a teen with my boyfriend just for kicks. Well, I married that boyfriend and guess what? We're still drinking. Other than that, I come from a long line of alcoholics and it's considered normal to drink heavily. I have 2 great children who turned out better than me. HAHAHA! No, but really. I have got to quit drinking now as I've started sampling other drugs and I don't like where it's taking me. I've been sober for a little bit now, but I'm not out of the woods yet. I've started back to college and will be putting in my application to nursing school within the year. I really want to clean up my act and go in with my head on straight. I don't know where all of this is taking me, but I'm just trying to take it all one day at a time.
This place looks friendly, so I hope you don't mind if I hang around for a bit. I'd like to try some of the meetings maybe. I need to figure out the avatar thing too.
Thank you. Sandy

Hi Sandy,
Welcome to SR! Sit back, grab a decaf (late here), and scroll and click around. You'll settle in just fine here, and gain some insight on how to go about this. Many good folks here, who understand, and been there as well. Good recovery happens here, we're glad you found us!
