Hope

I am new here as of today. I hope I can now remain sober after 18 years of partying. I hope this site will be helpful to me.

This site is an amazing resource for both knowledge and support.

Change is possible, therefore hope is reasonable.

Welcome to the fight of your life.

Heelo, and welcome.
Many of us here are recovering successfuly.
I partied for a long time, too. I like to say, "I went to a party and didn't leave for thirty years".
Which is somewhat true. But, it wasn't much of a party after 20 years. I was drinking almost every day. I had lost control. It's a progressive thing.
Good for you for reaching out. You'll find lots of support here.
