So many newbies

I want to get to enough sobriety under my belt to give encouragement and advice on continued sobriety. But right now, it would be like giving advice on the key to a successful marriage when one has a long history of broken relationships and divorce. I guess a simple "welcome to SR" will have to do. To all newbies

Sharing your experience is what others need from you. That is all any of us really has to offer... so share away!!

You have enough experience to give encouragement to others! You are a gentle soul with beautiful words to share. Jump in. Some of these people need to hear more!

You have some time now....you know what it's like to be new.... most of us share experience, not advice....

Glad you are on here!

Sharing, reading, and encouraging... being new to recovery doesn't mean you don't have a lifetime of good and bad experiences to share.

If you post, people will read it, and there's a good chance it will help someone, even if it's just to pass the time lol.

I had more to say when I was new to recovery than I do now. I actually get more out of newcomers posts.
Sobered you have a lot to say. This would be a pretty ineffectual forum if no one posted their experiences

Soberred,
You are much further along than I am, and I certainly can use your words of wisdom. I am on day 3. I know you must have some serious will and power to get you where you are.
Great job and let me know what is working for you!
