Hi!
 

Hello,

My name is Teresa and I'm a 23 year old recovering alcoholic living in California. My sober b-day is February 19th, 2008. I had been trying to get sober all last year, to no avail. I drank myself into detox on October 11, 2007. I had 90 days sober, and then relapsed because I "couldn't" do it anymore. Truthfully, I just gave up because I didn't have anything to love in my sober life. I have a lot of things that I love now just by being present, and I think that's one of the greatest gifts to give yourself in getting sober. Just being.
Anyway, thanks for having me!

Welcome to SR! Glad you are here:ghug

Hi Teresa,

Just 'being' is one of the hardest things in the world to do, and yet it's a great way to live.

Hey

Welcome to SR!

hello and welcome to the forum. there are, apparently, many reasons to stay. for me the reason to get sober was because i was a sick alki & had to drink to function. my epidermis was bruising all the time & my eyes were sunset red 24/7, plus my depression was a good gracious. staying sober is morer tufferer for surer.

and we now have you with us.

Welcome Teresa

Glad to have you join us.
Your finding the right answers at a good age. I was about 23 when I first started on this path as well. Life sure is better this way.

Again...Welcome

Welcome, Teresa! Awesome to see another young'un here. ;) It's a good community.

Yeah, Teresa, isn't it cool?

Guess what? It gets even better. Go to sleep knowing you have some friends that you don't even know about.

In 3 weeks, I have tons. It has made my recovery more than doable. Read, listen, write. Not a bad prescription.

Take care

Hi Teresa, welcome to S.R. I am currently 5 weeks sober- and a younger female like you- 20 yrs old. I got 2 months sobriety last year - from sept to dec. I relapsed though - mainly due to denial and not accepting i had alcoholism- however this time round it's a lot better for me as i can fully accept this.
It's great to see other youngens here- as 'tellus' said!
Glad you are enjoying your sobriety - me too(most of the time lol- but its always a progression)! :)
