New here.

Hi all. I'm new here,but not new to the rooms. I just picked up my 2 month chip tonight. I'm also working on my step 4. I have PTSD and chronic anxiety but I am not giving up. God bless you all for being here.

Hi, Repentance,

Congratulations on your two-month chip! I am new, too, and also struggle with PTSD and anxiety while fighting for sobriety. I don't even have a week quite yet (this time around), but you're an inspiration that it's possible. One day at a time.

Thanks!

2 months is an amazing milestone. I remember times where I couldn't reach the 1 month mark no matter how hard I tried. Keep on going! Congrats! 😊

Well done for getting on with the work. The rewards will exceed anything you can imagine. They certainly did with me.
