Welcome to SR, Mike. Five weeks is a great start to a new sober life. But you are absolutely right that you need to keep the streak going. Will power doesn't stand a chance against alcoholism, so I strongly recommend a program of recovery. AA is a popular choice because it works. There are also lots of other programs available as well.

Congrats on your sober time. I hope to hear more from you. Best wishes on your continued success!

Hi Mike....Well done on your sober time!

AA is where I learned how to stay in recovery
and enjoy it!

Do you have a program or a plan?

Welcome to our community!

Welcome Michael. Congratulations on your sobriety. I'm glad you know that you don't have to work on sobriety alone. Together is better.

Welcome Michael!

5 weeks sober is amazing! I'm glad you joined us. We are a diverse group of people with lots of experience, strength and hope to share. I am coming up on 90 days sober myself. It does get better all the time. For me, a combination of AA meetings, reading the literature, coming here a little bit most days, and reconnecting to a spiritual outlook each day helps me to stay on track.

Let us hear from you more so we can get to know you, too1
