New to SR
Hi there, I am new to this website and am glad I'm here! I've got two random newbie questions ;
* how 'new' do I have to be to post in the newcomers section? I am just past the seven month mark in my sobriety but sometimes I feel like I'm always going to feel like a newbie
* how do I customise my avatar?
Thanks muchly!
Luv, Love.

Welcome LovePrayLive...I love your name. Congrats on seven months and I'd say you are more than qualified to post in this forum. I don't know much about avatars...Somebody else will have to help with that....What keeps you sober?
I hope you'll share your experience and wisdom with us x

Hi LovePrayLive
the newcomers section is open to anyone - generally people new to the site start there - and some of us never leave LOL
custom avatar upload is broken at the moment - our techies are looking at it - but for now you'll have to use our in house avatars, I'm afraid...

Hello all!! and thanks muchly for your supportive and helpful words and humour
I can't remember who asked me what keeps me sober ( still getting my short term memory into gear here lol) but I'll tell you anyway;
*I feel really good more than when I was drinking *Not drinking is surprisingly easy (though living a life with dignity,grace, humour, love and intelligence is where I am still learning) *I got to the point where I wanted more and still do *It's nice to live with hope instead of resignation
*Little blessings and big HPLB (Higher Power Lightning Bolts) remind me every day that this is the life I am MEANT to be living.
But I think that after all the intellectualizing the truth is that my Higher Power loves me and wants me to have love in my life.......and I can't drink because I would die (my soul would hurt so much that I think it would disappear and then I would be not listening to my Higher Power and that equals death to me)
Thanks all again, see you 'round SR
Luv, Love.
