Hi
I am so glad I found this site. I have been lost for a long time and I really needed to find a safe place to talk. I have been sober for two months until last Friday had a good scare and now am more resolved than ever that I need help with this.
I would be grateful for any help or advice on keeping on track and I hope someday I can repay the favor.

Welcome Laure!
I have been in recovery for just over a year now. This site has helped me stay off the booze because having people to relate to is a huge part of an alcoholic's recovery. You will find a lot of understanding and compassion here.

Hi and Welcome,
This is a safe and supportive place to visit.
Congratulations on having 2 sober months. Like you, I found that my resolve grew as the days and months went by.
What worked for me was balance. I try to work on all aspects of my life - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual - each day. I find that my body craves the balance.
What changes have you made in your life, besides stopping drinking, in the two sober months? I think it's helpful to remember that the hard work begins with recovery.
