By golly gee...i do believe that sr is for me!!
 

Good morning all...I am new to SR. I have been reading countless posts around the site forthe past several weeks and have concluded that this place is awesome. Doesn't get any better than a ONE STOP SHOP..JAMM PACKED FULL OF HELP..HOPE...AND HEALING!! THIS IS AN ALCOHOLICS PARADISE!. Anyway..I have been drinking since 17 and 24 years later..here I am. (Please don't do the math..lol). Though new to SR..I am in no way new to the "GRAND QUEST FOR PERMANENT SOBRIETY". I have been through rehab several times..dabbled into AA many times..tried to DENY the issues A ZILLION TIMES and so on and so on!..I have LOST everything that could possibly be LOST..half ass gained it back..AND LOST ALL AGAIN. I have remained abstinent for periods of time throughout my "CAREER" and have always fallen back into the TRAP. My last 8 month period of abstinence ended abruptly on NEW YEARS EVE..of 2004. I was proud of myself for doing so well..the remembrance of all of the PAIN AND SUFFERING had left me..and the addict..WHO WAITS EVER SO PATIENTLY..played the "OH CMON..YOU CAN HAVE JUST ONE DRINK..AFTER ALL..IT IS NEW YEARS EVE." In conclusion ...that ONE DRINK..sent me on an 8 year descent into the worst DESPAIR I have ever known. On October 17 2012..my HP grabbed my hand and pulled me up. I have been given another chance..possibly the last.

I look forward to meeting everyone and continue sharing. Thank-you for being here for me.

Welcome to SR!

Hugs and prayers,

Hi, Noquickfix. Welcome to SR.

Well, let's hope that it is a recovering alcoholics paradise))).

All the best to you and keep posting.

Welcome noquickfix!

Congratulations on getting sober! I can relate to your post.... I thought I could have a glass of wine after 4 years of sobriety and it led to a 7-year relapse. It's great to be free again and this place helped me turn things around.

Glad you're here - we never have to go back, ya know.....:a122:

welcome noquickfix!! I joined yesterday, and I have gone through and read alot of the postings. Everyone here seems nice, and understanding :) I look forward to getting to know you!

Hi Noquick and a warm welcome to SR.
Look forward to hearing more form you. ;)

This place is fabulous. Family. SR has helped me more than words can say.
Welcome!!!

Welcome noquickfix! I had a similar journey. I was once sober 3 yrs. Decided to have just a glass of wine (as if) and back to drinking for 7 more years of hell. This time I really outdid myself, with dui's and all sorts of drama.

Glad you are liking the site - I came here very skeptical that anything could help me - and I never left. I hope you'll enjoy being here where there's hope and healing.

Welcome!

You will always find lots of support here.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome...and thank-you Dee for fixing my post.

Glad to have you here! I joined first of October and am on reading a few times everyday, it is super helpful!
