Joanne commented on the post, 12 Tips for Celebrating Sober 9 months, 2 weeks ago
An excellent post! One thing that helped me is remembering that we only do this one day at a time. This disease does not take a holiday, so I can’t afford to take a holiday from sobriety. Someone in one of my meetings uses “Play the tape forward.” Long before you pick up that first drink, remind yourself of all the things that happened after…[Read more]

Joanne commented on the post, Isolation 9 months, 2 weeks ago
I can so relate to this post. At the end of my drinking, I was totally isolating. Every day, I would come home from work and start drinking with the sole goal of getting to oblivion.

This site has up to 5 meetings every day (365) and is otherwise open for open chat 24/7. So I was terrified to walk in to my first meeting in the rooms, but I was at a point where I did not know what else to do. I had drank for a very long time but at the end…[Read more]

Hi Amber! Glad you are here and it was great to see you in the meeting the other day. This is a great site with lots of great people helping each other recover, because we do together what we could not do alone (not drink/stay sober). Please keep coming back. This thing works and we need you here to help keep the rest of us sober another day.
