Another New Start
Hello! I have read the posts here and really liked the support everyone gives each other! I am a recovering alcoholic, again, and think this site can be very helpful..especially when I can't attend an AA meeting. I did some outpatient tx in Oct. 2012 and was sober for 40 days, relapsed. I did inpatient tx for 22 days in Jan, was sober 24 days, relapsed, and now am sober again for 5 days. I'd like to stay sober, but it is hard. I was prescribed an anti-depressant inpatient and that is beginning to help. I know this is long but that's my story. I look forward to chatting with both people in early sobriety and "old-timers" who have so much knowledge to share. One problem..I'm practically computer illiterate!!

Well, you came through loud and clear hawkeye 
. We are so glad you've joined us.
SR meant the world to me when I came crawling in here in '07. I felt my anxiety level go down right away. Knowing I wasn't alone in the fight meant everything.
Congratulations on your five days. You can do this.

Welcome, Hawkeye! I've only been a SR member for a month but I've found the support here has really helped me and boosted the rest of my recovery plan.
I'm not very computer literate either, but if you can type - which you obviously can, very well - you'll be just fine here, or anywhere on the internet.

Welcome hawkeye from me too....and yes, I agree, you're 'coming through loud and clear' :-)
Computer illiterate? Nooo...you'll be fine here. It's a very well laid out site, with lots of tech help (somewhere or other :-)) and you can always post one of the online moderators to ask a specific question about the ins n outs of posting / quoting / all those techie type things.
Wishing you all the very best!
