Hi Tommy, I just joined this month too. I found it really helpful to go back and read peoples' previous posts. There's a lot of combined knowledge and empathy here. It's amazing how similar our experiences have been. And if there's something you want discussed that you don't see, just bring it up!

Thank you everyone for your support. I know that I can't do this alone. This is my first time in the program. I have a sponsor and am midway through my 90 in 90. I'm a 34 year old fireman. I am also separating from my wife. Sorry, not trying to give my biography, just want to start honest.

So far A A has been great to me. I have made many real friends already. I forgot for awhile what real friends were. I am looking forward to staying sober with all of you.
