Talking So...

Hows everyone doing? The name is Jesse & i am an addict

Been struggling with my disease for many years. Im 28 years old, live in the northwest & at one point in time in my life i had over 2 & a half years of sobriety so i know the drill so to speak.

I think its cool theres a forum dedicated to 'recovery' and im hoping to to meet some interesting people here who i can share stories with & vent, lol.

welcome Done! you'll find plenty of people with different stories here to keep you interested - and hopefully this time - Sober for good

Out of curiosity - 2.5 years is a good chunk of change... how did you do it the first time, and what made you stop?

I went to inpatient twice in 2004, once in the summer and again in the winter time. I did everything that was suggested and i managed to stay clean for 2 1/2 years. Hit a rough patch in my life and basically relapsed because of a girl! smh...But yeah man im only a couple of days in & i know what it is i need to do so yeah...

Jesse, this is a wonderful place that helped me get sober after a lifetime of drinking. I know what you mean about relapsing - it's so easy to fall back on our old 'friend' when times get tough. I couldn't continue to do that, & had to find a new way to live, or I'd die.

Congratulations on wanting a new and better life for yourself - you've made a great decision, & I know it's not easy at a young age. Let us know how it's going for you.
