Newcomer here.
 

Heya, I'm new here. I'm Jhay, 23, and I'm an alcoholic and addict. I've gone to my first two AA meetings after trying and failing multiple times on my own and I'm looking into attending NA as well. I'm trying to stay strong but need more support from people who know what I'm going through. I look forward to getting to know others here along the way as well as myself. :bunny2:

Hi jhay Im glad you signed up and welcome. :)

glad your here..........and welcome.

trucker

Thank you. :D

Hey champ - welcome. I am 22 so its good to have another youngster around! :)

Heya thanks! Are there not too many around here? I know I panicked at first when I walked into my first meeting and not only was I the only young one there but the only girl! Then one more female and one younger guy came in later lol.

Welcome,age has no barriers at this site. I'm 56,sober at last"26 days" and
looking forward to sharing with you a bright new life,as does all the ST
members..........lol. :e082:

Welcome, you will find so much support here, it really makes your recovery much easier

Hey j, this site is awesome!!! There is tons of support here. I'm so glad I found this place. Welcome to the SR Family. :)

Welcome Jhay,
Yeah age has no barriers on this problem. I attend AA meetings where there are bunches of young people involved. We commonly see people under twenty picking up 1 year chips. It's so much better to get a handle on this while you are young! Congrats for being here!

Welcome Jhay,

I'm glad you are seeking help and I hope you keep posting.

Welcome jhay! I'm glad you found us. There is a Substance Abuser forum also, do check it out. Congratulations on seeking a better life without booze or drugs.

Hi Jhay and welcome, Im an alcoholic and find it hard to get my head round that fact, Im only 27 and was really worried and scared walking in to my first AA meeting, I was the youngest by far but everyone welcomed me in with open arms......Everyones there for the same reason at the end of the day, keep coming back, read and post it helps me.

Welcome to our recovery community

Hey Jhay, 22 here also! Welcome to the site!

Welcome to SR!! Keep coming back...

Thanks guys! I had a really rough time last time as I've been super irritable and lashed out at someone I care about. I'm on Day 6 today and woke up feeling better. With my work schedule I won't be able to attend meetings as often as I like so I have a feeling I will be on here a lot - late at night especially. Anyway, thanks for the warm welcomes. I'm glad I found the site.

Hi and you have found the right place...Keep reaching out for help, believe me, sobriety is possible. Your life will become meaningful once you have found sobriety...

Keep posting...:egg21:

Welcome! Age, sex, religeon and colour don't matter when you have a monkey on your back :)
