I'm Josh, I'm a 28yo sober alcoholic in recovery. I have been in AA and sober for three years. I still struggle with life everyday, and sometimes dont know what to do or where to go. AA has taught me how to live everyday without having to drink my life away. Although since being in AA I have had to take an honest look at my life past and present, and try and see the the truth in everything, even the stuff I dont want to see, or have tried very hard to hide. Letting go of the me that I created and accepting the me that God created is a huge focus in my life today, some days are better than others. I also struggle with sexual addictions, including pornography, depresson, and issues with my sexuality, so finding some people to connect with who are dealing with these struggle would be awesome.

Progress not perfection. Our character defects do not vanish over night. My sponsor tells me we become watered down versions of our previous selves

Hi Josh. Welcome!

For starters, congradulations on 3 years! I'm looking forward to being able to mark my 3 years this October. It's good to be reminded that such a thing is possible and that it's not something that comes for free.

Depression and sexuality are matters I deal with as well and factor into my recovery. There are separate forums for both here where you're sure to find others in similar waters.
