New, looking for healthy connections to help support me

Good evening, I'm new to Sober Recovery.

I've been in and out of AA for about 7 years. I can't seem to get the program to stick and I'm struggling. Looking for support.

I'm increasing my number of meetings from 1 per week to 4 per week starting this week. Hoping to find a sponsor. And hoping to not become overwhelmed with the process yet again.

Looking forward to connecting and making some friends on this site.

Great to have you with us, Otter. I felt all alone until I came here. No one in my life understood what I was going through. You'll find plenty of encouragement & friendship here. Welcome!

If you've been trying for 7 years maybe the programme is not for you...
