Another Newbie!
 

I'm new to this forum and would like to stay connected with other alcoholics like myself who struggle to string together months and months of sober time. In the past 18 months I have been completely sober 80% of the time - but the "slips" that crop up every few months really suck. I have good local and family support, I was just hoping to add this site as one more tool for myself.

Hi Linus and welcome.

I had the same problem about staying stopped as well.

It's good to have you here.

Want to say hey and welcome. Always nice to have new people join in.

Welcome to SR linus,

I haven't been around here very long but this has become my favorite place to visit and read. Great people on here!!

Sounds like sobriety is important to you....I had a friend relapse not long ago. He'd been sober longer than me and I always got a great deal from his comments in the meetings. When he told everyone he'd slipped and was refocusing himself towards his sobriety, I could tell how important being sober was to him. It has to be important to keep trying after going back out. Just remember to never give up on sobriety.

Hope to see you on SR often...

God's Peace

Hi Linus, welcome to SR :)

Welcome Linus! I was very much like you...sober much of the time, but slip ups here and there. This forum has helped me a lot. I have been able to string together 64 days in a row now!
