Searching I have been thinking all day long. I am very happy at the moment with my life and lot and want or need for nothing. I am also very grateful for all the things in my life that bring me such happiness. I was thinking how amazing it was when I was at my lowest that my google search 'I need to stop drinking' brought me here to sober recovery forum. That realisation that I was not the only one that drank in such a way. That others thought in the same way. That people had the same regrets as me and the same hopes for the future. What would have happened if I had not found here? There were times when I felt hopeless and scared and coming to SR was a way of dealing with it. I really do think of you all as my family and I would get incredibly homesick if I did not come here everyday. My best to each and everyone of you Xx |
Always love your posts, Sasha. You made me feel part of the family in the beginning too. Thank you so much for that. xo |
Sasha, I feel very much the same way. The night I found SR I was googling 'health problems of heavy drinkers' - didn't even want to use the word 'alcoholic' at that time. Somehow a post from here popped up and I clicked on it. I was hooked. I'm glad you're happy and content with your life - thank you for an uplifting post. |
I can relate! I googled "forums to help stop drinking" one night. I am here A LOT! It's helping me understand what I am going through, forgive myself, and learning to move on. |
I still remember being in tears due to drinking and doing a random search on the internet and finding SR. I remember being entranced. I could not believe there were other people like me. I remember sitting for hours thinking 'maybe this could help me too'. And wow, it so did help me. I hate to think what might be had I not stumbled across SR. XX |
I know - and other forums just aren't the same. :) |
I cannot remember what I googled to get here. I think it was related to hangover remedies. I am so thankful I found SR. It has been a life changing experience to say the least. I always love your posts Sasha you are great :) |
I know Hevyn None of them come anywhere close to the magnificence that is SR! Thanks Fallow. I think you are brilliant too! xx |

XX Reluctantly I looked up AA meetings, planning to attend that day. I was scared to go but was going to force myself. In my search I came across this site and was hooked. I too could not believe there were people like me. I thought I was the only one?? Instant connection. I too don't know if I would have made serious attempt to give up the booze without this site. I will be forever grateful for scary drive and calling in sick that day, which led me to find this site. |
