Hi Mal,

Welcome to Sober Recovery! There is lots of support here and it's a very civil community. Some here are new and others are "old-timers". It's a great place to get help and make friends to help in your journey.

Hi.
Welcome, you’re in a great part of the world but at a miserable part of life with alcohol dictating what and how we respond to life situations.

You’ve got to determine your bottom is as far as you will go and at all cost stop drinking now. Procrastination is deadly for us as too many don’t make it for the long run.
Try to understand that if we don’t have that first drink one day at a time in a row we won’t have to TRY to get sober AGAIN.

BE WELL

Welcome!

Sorry you hit the bottom. Get sober with our help and you won't need to hit a new low. Bottoms can keep increasing, unless you yank the plug and decide enough is enough.

You can do this!!

Hi mal and welcome! So glad you're here! The encouragement and understanding of this community made it possible for me to finally quit drinking after years of drunken misery. The same can be true for you, too!
