new here

Hi all, I am new here, but not new to recovery. I have been trying to get off since september 2004. I do not use daily, but at times it does get me through, what seems to be too much to handle. Anyway I just wanted to introduce my self and I will see you all later

Hello Elsa--Welcome to SR. If you give sobriety a chance, you may find that the problems you used to not be able to handle are gone or at least much easier to deal with. I know I did.

Glad you found us.

Hugs--
