Brief introduction

Hello! I am new to the site. I am an alcoholic. I am having a hard time finding friends. I have cut most people out of my life because I want to lead a sober and healthy life! I am a separated mother of five with not a lot of time but friends would be nice to have when it is me time! I am a strong woman and a good listener. It's great to be here!

Hi Missy,

Nice to meet you!

I don't know how long you have sober but do you have a plan in place to deal with any cravings, stress etc (I drink when I'm stressed so I have to have something in place to help me)?

This forum is an amazing resource and I urge you to read widely around here and ask for help when you need it :-)

I have been sober for 105 days. I am really enjoying it. I am trying to stay away from negative people and situations, that helps immensely with the cravings. I am re-teaching myself positive affirmations and that helps keep me focused on me. Cravings with always be there and I know that, but I just try to focus on my goal to be happy and healthy. Nice to meet you!
