First Time Poster

Hello All,

My first time talking in a Forum or meeting about my alcoholism and drug abuse. Felt I could do it on my own, but do struggle and decided to do this rather than attend AA, NA, or other support groups. I've been clean and sober since 5/15/15. I definitely have urges and have to fight these off. I've been an addict of some type for over 25 years.

Welcome Mak, I have found everyone here to be great. It is really helpful to talk to other people who just get what it means to be addicted to something.

Welcome again.

Hi MAK and welcome! 4 months is a great achievement. Can you share what you've done to accomplish that? And you live in Napa.....oh my. Although I long ago moved from wine to vodka...much easier to hide and get drunk on.
