Hi, I'm Josh. I'm an alcoholic (and addict).

Hi everyone. I'm Josh, 30, and I am hopelessly addicted to marijuana and alcohol. I hit rock bottom on April 3, 2011 and have been clean and sober ever since (Thanks HP!). I work a program of recovery everyday and have been doing so since April 12, 2011. I have a home group, sponsor, and now, sponsees. I am forever greatful for the programs I am a part of and blown away with how much my life has changed for the better since meeting my HP on my sober date.

I admit that back in my drinking/using days I was obsessed with internet message boards and trolling them in sick attempts to make people feel as horrible as I felt. Being sober and living the spiritual life, I'm hoping to turn something I enjoyed (message boards) from a negative to a positive.

And with that I'll pass. Thanks all.

I'm happy for you I'm on my 10 day sober, it's been hard. However support is what gets you through and of course God.. I just hope I can continue to not let alcohol control me..
