Hello Out There

Just jotting a few lines to say hello and break the ice in this community. I've been dipping my toes in the sobriety pool for many years- some success but no long term commitment. I've done so without a great deal of support so maybe you peeps are what I need right now. Would love to have any good vibes or prayers you could send my way.

Welcome to the family! The best advice I can give you is to read and post often to reinforce your sobriety. Also, practice gratitude every day. I found that to be very helpful in maintaining my sobriety and keeping a positive attitude.

Hi SoberNoob! It's wonderful to have you join us. I felt so much better when I found this place & knew I could be myself here.
Everyone understands what you're going through, like no one else can.
Welcome!

Thanks All, feels pretty hopeless at times right now but I'm going to take it one day at a time.

Welcome SoberNoob.

Just keep turning up each day to receive the support and backup (we all) need during early days of recovery.

Sober is so much better SoberNoob. Once you get the hang you will never regret it.

Welcome Sobernoob. I am almost 7 months sober and could not have gotten this far without this place!

The hopelessness & anxiety will begin to fade - we promise it gets better.
