Hi :)

I'm new to this forum but not so much to recovery, though I've been having a really, really tough time with that. I've been in & out of AA for... *thinks*... holy cow, about 15 years. At one time I had 4 1/2 or so years sober. Right now? Maybe a week.

Hi Kat and welcome. Congrats on being a week sober. It's so hard to get and stay sober once you relaps,but it is possible! A long time ago I had many years sober and went back out for years. Now I'm happy to say I have 4 and a half years sober doing it all one day at a time and with others helping me along the way. Keep coming back. I found this place to be a great tool in my recovery along with face to face AA meetings.

Welcome Kat, don't know many folks who have not relapsed. I have a few of those in my past too. I have received much encouragement from the posts on this site, and I trust you will also. It is a great reminder that we are not alone in our journey.
Regards,

Welcome Kat,

This place a great way to supplement recovery. I don't use it when I can make meetings, but if I can't well, then this site is here. It's nice to know that we can think locally but reach out globally. The internet is a wonderful thing.
