Hi Jewles,

Glad you found us. I'm just passing by as I really should do some work for a change! I'll check back later.

Take care,

Hi Jewels,
I am a recovering alcoholic who lives in Toronto Canada. I have been sober now for almost 2 years. I am always glad to meet another person who has chosen to do the hard work of recovery. I went into a rehab as well and have unfortunately been off work now for almost 3 years as part of my journey includes a battle with PTSD and major depression. I manage to stay sober only by taking life one day at a time. When I hit my bottom, I felt as though I was dead but that my body didn't know enough to stop functioning. I was unable to care for myself even for the simple tasks of looking after my meals or hygiene. All I seemed to be able to do was drink. Even though I was unable to perform the simplest of tasks I somehow still managed to be able to drag myself out to the local wine store to get my precious supply. Life meant nothing to me except a bottle. I surely was dying. Dealing with my emotions sober is now my greatest challenge as for so many years I just numbed myself out. I am and have learned more since I have entered recovery about life than I ever have in my 50 years of life and the lessons just keep on a comin. Welcome to the site and I look forward to getting to know you and share in your struggles and triumphs.

Hi Jewels!
And welcome to SoberRecovery!
Glad you've made the decision to turn your life around, and to join this community.
I plan on staying sober today, like many here.
Let's do it together

hi

Hi, I'm new here too. Right now I'm trying to quit heroin. I am trying to make friends here too. I think talking to other users and ex-users would help me out a lot.
