Welcome aboard leviathan :) D |
Welcome, and Congrats! I got cleaned up (again) on February 18 of this year. So, we have that pretty much in common...oh yea, also the alcohol. :) Don't know about you, but I dabbled in all kindsa chemicals and the like. Great that you finished up an outpatient program too. Are you doing any meetings? Or have you found support somewhere else other than SR? Even if not, I'm sure you feel a lot better than two months ago. I know I do! Keep posting! Stay in touch! |
Welcome, you a supernatural fan perchance? |
Welcome! I'm new, too. :) |

Hi! I'm new here too and looking forward to new supportive friends:) Today I'm 24 days sober and I really didn't think I would make it past the first day or even week. It's getting a little easier, although I still fight those nasty triggers. I have never drank so much club soda and ice tea in my life!! lol |
Leviathan - Glad you are here with us! |
Hi Leviathan, new here too. |
Thanx for reply. Im still learning to navigate the site. Little bit of a learning curve, evidently. No structured meetings, but have been to a couple AAs. Prob not my thing, but ive committed to go back if i eel like relapsing. ...yeah man, started partying at age of 16 (1986) -extensive use of all kinds of ****. No needles. No xtacy.(guess im too old). Dig your quote. I keep one handy that was spoken by tecumseh.(sp?) |
Welcome, glad you're here. |
