new to this forum

three months, three weeks sober. but brand new to this forum, so i guess i just thought i'd say hello. i'm finding sobriety lonely as hell, and i guess i thought this might be a nice place to come and talk about it (sobriety). i'm your garden variety drunk, really. been living in london for two plus years, used ever day, all day. before that in new york, same thing some times replaced with bulimia. five years constant use of some substance. booze specifically, although i was deemed a hallucinogenic addict in rehab as well. moved back from london to my parents home in the bible belt, hence the lonely sentiments of late. anyway, that's me, just wanted to say hello.

It's a great place to be. I've only been here a short while but am already finding some really great people hanging around.

eeb, congratulations on your sobriety. You will find this is a very supportive place. I've logged in at all hours of the night (especially on the weekends) for re-enforcement, encouragement, whatever. It helps. Stay with us.

Hi Ebb & welcome,

You're in the right place -- there's also NA too should you venture checking out that forum???...

I hate the "lonelies"!!! We've been so alone in our own private hell's for so long with our drugs and alcohol, then when we get clean & sober we feel it all too sharply! This forum offers a lot of encouragement, understanding and identification for me. I also attend a few mtgs a week that is helpful. Getting the "stuff" out of me is a biggie at this small point of recovery (10 days old), yet another year older (today is my belly-button birthday).

Keep posting and updating -- read the other posts and you'll see that YOU'RE NOT ALONE, MY FRIEND!!!

Best and Hugz,
Nicki

Welcome Eeb,

I'm glad you found us.

As you can see, you are not alone here. There are many of us going through the same thing.
