Hi! I'm new

Hi guys. I have registered here before a long time ago but I forgot my user name and passwork!

Anyway I'm an alcoholic. As of today I have been sober for 6 days! This is huge deal for me because I honestly can't remember the last time I was sober for that long. I'm beginning to like it though. I just got bored with being tipsy or drunk all the time. I also discovered that I have an ulcer which is probably due to my drinking so I decided that I've had enough. I had some NASTY withdrawals this time but I kept them at bay with a couple of serepax pills for a few nights. I'm still kinda getting over it I think. Anyway I do feel a little better.

Oh and I'm 27 and from Australia.

Re: Hi! I'm new

Hi Nat - my sponsor always tells me at each anniversary that I celebrate, that if I could do that amount of time clean in a row, then I can do it again! So she would probably tell you, "terrific! if you did 6 now you know you can do twelve... just do exactly what you did for this 6 for the next 6 and you will be there!" Silly, but I always find it encouraging.

Congratulations to YOU!!!!! You have earned that. It is hard work not using when it is our basic nature to use... I am glad to meet you and looking forward to hearing from you more!
