I wanted to post in newcomers today to link my story, which is here, and also because I want you to know that if I can do this, you can do this.

To those of you starting out, please know you can do it!
Congratulations American Girl and thank you for sharing your story so eloquently and simply. I am 9 days sober and so grateful to have found SR. Being able to post and read how others are doing is both supportive and inspiring.

I bought a book of personal stories of addiction yesterday,recently published in Ireland, called 'You are not alone'. Thats how I feel now, not alone, especially as I don't feel ready to admit my addiction to friends or family yet.Being able to speak honestly here means so much to me. Thanks to all of you.

I wish you a big congrats American Girl! You know, I find this soooo very cool, for sometimes I find it quite depressing when I hear of others when they're quickly falling off the wagon and struggling with their difficult times, but yet, it's soooo very refreshing and wonderful when I hear of someone making it a year and feeling great about it. It just proves to everyone that it can be done. Great job, AG!

Good work American Girl, and a wonderful post. Some here call me "American Boy", don't know who did the song, but its popular here. I sometimes feel like telling them "if you see a boy, tell his Mama", anyway, hope to be as much an inspiration as you are!

Thank you.
