Up until now I have only been on the forums using the mobile app. I just got on my laptop for the first time and was able to find and log in under my old user name. My last post was November 2010. I started to try to find some of my old posts and decided it was too painful. I'm a little bit freaked out, but I realize that a new username is probably a good thing. It symbolizes that this is a new beginning. I'm not the same person I was then. Even though I managed to stay sober for a long time (even became a moderator for a little while), it didn't stick. I wasn't ready. Hopefully this time will be different. This time has to be different. Its up to me.

Keep coming back, y'all....

Hi Elicia,

Don't freak out, every single person here either has changed or is trying to change who they are.

I myself have also joined a forum 6yrs ago, was clean for a few months and yet I just know now it's different. I am sure you know it too!

You re doing great.

Thanks, MrP. I know we're all in the same boat (or on the same bus, as it were...). It's so good to know I'm not alone. None of us are alone. Happy almost Friday!!

I did the same thing. I was on here for awhile and was sober for a good jaunt. I went out for a couple years and then came back. I feel like it's different, I'm doing it for myself this time, before, my fiance wanted me to quit. It feels good to do it for myself instead. I'm glad to see you back, we can do this.

Not sure why I looked up my old username. Just wanted to see if it was still here, I guess. I'm still glad I chose a new one. New name, new me. Endless possibilities ...
