Day 34

Hi, everyone. I'm jbr1971, and I'm an alcoholic. Today is 34 days sober for me - something I never thought I'd see. I had to be hospitalized and detoxed in May. This is my first - and hopefully last - attempt at sobriety. I go to local meetings every day, and I'm trying for that '90 in 90' goal. I have an amazing support system, a fantastic sponsor, and I'm being treated for depression. Some days are harder than others, and I'll freely admit that I don't know my way around AA very well just yet.

I'm having issues with trust, and with opening up to the people in my home group. I wasn't always this introverted, and I hope I can get back to the person I once was.

People at the meetings I attend talk a lot about serenity, but I'm not feeling it yet. I understand that it comes in time and with working the steps.

That's all I have for now; I just wanted to say hello to everyone. Glad to be here.

34 Days is something to proud of. I'm looking a local AA meetings now. I think they may be able to help me in my efforts to get off the bottle. Congrats and keep it going!
