Great to have you here! And welcome. You'll find a lot of support and wisdom here.
I'm grateful to be alive, too. When, all things considered, I really shouldn't be alive.
But I came out the other, sober end so I'm making the most of it.
I wish the same for you.

Welcome to the family. 
Sobriety is not only possible, it's wonderful. I got sober over 9 yrs ago and don't regret a minute of it.
Hope our support can help you stay sober for good.

Hi Meddles and welcome to the SR community.
I too am (exceedingly) grateful to be alive.
I cannot think of any reason to drink now, and my life is much less complicated for it.
In the newcomer's forums- there are many different threads- and across the boards a great diversity of stuff to learn and be involved with. I use meetings and health pro's (GP/psychologist) to heal- but by fay the most useful, convenient and supportive mechanism I have to keeping up a strong recovery is SR. Others can pick up on stuff I am going through by the changes in my word- which is also an excellent way of reflecting, like jurnaling (which I do as well)
I use SR daily- progressively, as daily support is a vital ingredient to my continuing successful recovery. One old timer at a meeting likened daily support to recharging our sober battery. It only stays charged if we actively top it up....
Support to you.
