Been trying to get sober on and off for 10years
Hi all, today is my official first day of sobriety AGAIN. And this time I mean it! I have been looking through this site and reading some of forums and am so glad I joined. I question why I didn't do this sooner, but I'm here now and looking to connect (:

Welcome, Classypants, good to have you with us.
Yeah, I also tried to give up for about ten years before it finally stuck.
This place had been my salvation, hope you stick around.

Thanks all for the support. BernieE, I will definitely check out and join the December group. I'm relieved to have finally made this decision. I grew up with an alcoholic mother and never want my kids to experience what I did.

Hi Classypants,
I've been trying to quit now for probably the past 8 years and trying to cut-back for the 8 years preceding that. I tried a similar site 2 years ago but lasted two weeks and went head long into drinking again. I'm now determined to get my life back on track and found this site SR. I have to fully explore the site but I hit this thing several times a day to give and receive support but also to use as a tool to keep me on track. When I get itchy fingers I write a post here, read a post or reply to a post. Please keep in touch here it will definitely help you. It's a sobering site! Sorry, had to throw that in.

Welcome, classypants. Love the name!
Here is the December Class thread (it's in Newcomers)
http://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...er-2014-a.html
The class threads are really great to kind of get to know people a little, and to cheer each other on.
