Hi everyone. I'm Sophie, alcoholic. I have 38 days sober today. Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a pediatric nurse during the day, and an amateur musician at night. I live alone with my two cats. Look forward to getting to know people here.

Welcome, BlackeBird. We're so glad to have you with us.
Congratulations on your 38 days sober - that's wonderful.
I had felt all alone until coming here. No one in my life understood what I was going through. It means everything to be part of an encouraging community.

Welcome to the family.

Quitting being a drunk for a born again non drinker was the best decision of my life.

Normal feels amazing. So liberating. I held the key to my chains. SR saved my sorry soul.

Amen.

Thanks.

Welcome to the family Sophie! If you live with two cats, you're not really alone. I live with my dog and three cats and I rarely feel lonely due to their fine company.

This is a safe and supportive site. I give a lot of credit to SR for my sobriety.

I hope to see you around.

I am also curious as to what instrument(s) you play.

Thank you for posting. I celebrate with you. 38 days is no small thing. Does your music also help liberate you? Pretty cool I think.
