Longtime lurker, new member!

Just wanted to introduce myself to everyone here at SR. Been on the forum for awhile now, just worked up the courage to post for the first time.

I am a longtime drinker and have been sober for 20 days. This is the longest period of time in over twenty years. I didn't think I could do it and wanted to get a few days under my belt before introducing myself.

I wasn't capable of posting the first two weeks, but honestly wouldn't have made it this long without this forum.

I can only say thank you and I look forward to getting to know everyone.

I hope this drunk can make a contribution.

Thanks, Rachelle. It is encouraging to know I'm not the only newbie here, lol. I have been so inspired by everyone.
I feel strong, though, like we can really do it!
BTW, love the quote from Nin. True words, eh?
