SUPPORT FOR ALL (no month required)
I am writing this because, while I am closest to February friends, my sobriety date is April 9. I never got connected in April or May or, now June...and we have lost so many over time (in February-including me). So here's what happened to me since February:
Got DUI #2
Court gave me 12 months probation + 1 night in jail.
On my own went to rehab for 2 weeks after an awful incident (details later)
contiuned with their Intensive Outpatient Program for 4+ weeks.
Go on Tuesdays to an alcoholism relapse prevention group
Will go on Wednesdays to another.
Go to AA every morning at 7:30 AM.
Just collected my 2-month chip.
Soooo. where do I belong? I think here. I feel like a phony in February, and don't want to start with a new "group" because I think a lot of us relapse and hate to go back where we "started", so I am going to post here.
All are welcome: drinking, sober for 150 years, 1 hour, 1 minute, 2 days then slipped...you get the drift.

Oh. Okay. Another cool thread! I am not a part of my month. I think I was, then I was not. I drop into random months to give support. Welcome back! I am happy that you are giving this another try. Good to see that you are getting all the support and help that you can.

Pamel, you are FANTASTIC. So glad you are here. I am paying close attention to your thread Pamel, because I fear relapsing myself. Makes my realize more and more just how powerful addiction to chemical substances is. Goin on 3 years sober myself, and the thought of relapsing terrorizes me. Rootin for ya.

The retread thread? 
I guess I belong here since I've retread a few times.
Or perhaps the "Never lost hope" thread, since we all keep coming back until we get it right.
All of us seeking total victory over the addiction. We will fight for it. We will sacrifice for it. We will never surrender to it. Ever. We will prevail.

Like Anna said, everyone can post wherever they want.
I am sad to see some don't feel they belong in any of the many group threads we have tho.
Everyone in those threads really tries to make everyone welcome.
There's great support there too, and no judgement.
We all understand about relapse - if anyone feels a phony, don't

Hey Pamel my five words buddy! We have the same sober date 4/9/13. I just joined the April thread this week. Come on in, maybe you can get more 5 words followers.
Keep your head up cause your doing it! Nothing is learned without mistakes!

Hi all - I haven't posted for a while and I shall be popping in to some of the other threads to reintroduce myself. I joined the forum back in March and was doing well. Then I had a birthday at the end of April and used that as an excuse to have a drink and I haven't stopped since. Here's to my new day two.

Hey all, and especially Indenial618 Day 2 now? If not keep posting.
To Dee and Anna, thanks for the reminder that we can post on any thread; I just wanted one to go to as my "forever" thread, where I stay sober, but return if I don't. I LOVE the February people and took a stab at April, but I lose track of my "friends". Here anyone can join with anything. Just simplifying life.
This morning I woke up totally depressed-because I thought my BF had proposed to me; when I realized it was just a dream, what a relief. Says something about ... Whatever LOL...
Off to a meeting (after the 5-letter thread). It is such fun to see who shows up here!
