Ok.... I'm not directly from Ireland, but all my ggrandparents on both sides were! Does that count? They were from the north, around Belfast.

There's gotta be somebody on SR from Ireland eh? They'll show up, I'm sure....

nelco

Your grandparents on both sides.........well theres a lot of Irish blood in you. thanks for posting. Back from meeting and will be hitting the hay soon (bed). No Irish on here yet. maybe I should give up.

Hi and welcome!
When I joined SR - which is how I finally understood that I was an alcoholic and AA could save my life! - I was living in Ireland> I was there for 8 years, now 3 years back in South Africa. Both beautiful countries and it's great to be home - but Ireland really is very very special. I love visiting there. It's a wonderful magical place. It would've been nice to be sober for more of the time there, but at least I've got to enjoy it in sobriety as well!
