Newbie just saying hello.

Hi there, I have found this site a few times when googling questions so I thought I might as well join and say hello. I am 525 days dry. This is my 3rd go around, the 1st time was 100 days and the 2nd was 77. This time is for good. Thanks for all of the good reading that this site has supplied me in the past and I am sure in the future.

I used to watch you guys from my front porch, the airport is long gone now. It is all houses now.

Welcome FoodDude! I am glad you have been able to stay away from the booze for 525 days. I find it fairly easy to stay away now (3.5 yrs sober), but always remember what my AA buddies say 'remember, it is just one day at a time'. I am very wary of letting complacency set in. Anyway, it is good to see you posting

Welcome!! And- beyond it being outstanding that you have been so sober so long, it is really impressive that you are still seeking out support and focusing on recovery tools. That's how I want to be!!
