Admitting is step one.

Quitting is step two.

Welcome to Sober Recovery. Good luck on your sober journey.

Welcome Tammy!

We know what it's like. When I first came here, I was miserable and couldn't get out of the vicious cycle of drinking. I found so much support and inspiration here and I know you will, too. You can turn things around - we're here to help.

Great place to find, I was here about 5 yrs ago & truly was not ready to admit I had a problem. It took till I hit what I thought was rock bottom... then 50 feet of crap piled on top of that & I realized no matter how big the bottle, I need to fix the real broken in me.

God Bless

Welcome Tammy,
I quit drinking last June. I drank wine at home too. Quitting was one of the best decisions I ever made!

Thanks for your post, Tammy. It was very courageous for you to come forward and admit to a bunch of strangers that you have a problem. I commend your strength. WELCOME TO YOU!!!
