Newcomer to site

Hi, I am new to this site. By the way my name is Joy M. and I am an alcoholic/addict, and I have sobriety date of 7/14/2017. I found this site, and I thought I might be of service, and find new friends. I hope I can tell my story sometime.

That's the ticket! ... thinking about ourselves less and others more!

Being of maximum service to others IS the solution to our drinking problem.

Helluva 1st post and welcome!

Whenever you want to tell your story, we have a Stories of Recovery forum for anyone with a year or more sober from drugs, alcohol, or codependency. Maybe your story can help someone just starting out.
