I am new here

Hello-
I am new to this site. It is very different from the site that I am used to. I needed to branch out a little. If anyone can give me some pointers I would really appreciate it. Thanks so much.

Hi Cali - I'm new here also. Just joined last night. I'm pretty experienced on other forums though and my experience has taught me that the more you let people know about yourself, the interesting it shall be. Filling out your profile might be a good idea, as would telling a little more about yourself right here. What site did you used to go to? How long are you sober? What brought you here? Do you eat taco bell?

LOL Joe-
I have been sober for 6 months. I'd rather not say what site I am from-I don't have anything negative to say about it-the people were great I just really needed a change. Absolutely no Taco Bell!

Hi Cali, and welcome!

My advice would be to share what you are comfortable sharing as you are able to.
I'm glad you found this place!
