I am an addict. Probably pretty lucky to be here clean tonight, and very grateful also.

I have been around the boards for awhile and yet have never seen this one. So I am always glad to find a place to where I can share with each of you and also willing to listen also. I am right now around 40 days clean again. OH MY those again. HE HE I know that they always say that YET (You're Eligible TOO) and I have found out that this is so true.

This last time that I went back out was in February. I didn't get clean until May and I am really lucky to be alive today. Something has happened this time around. Usually I am very happy, of course it isn't likely that we can be happy all of the time, we still have to deal with life on life's terms and I am really working on that. I have put myself back into out-patient around 6 weeks ago. I knew that I had to do something different if I were going to live. I don't want to die yet, and today, I am taking suggestions from my sponsor as if they were orders.

I also have a relationship issue that I am dealing with in counseling. Sometimes I get over-whelmed with it all, and now that I am opening doors to my past that I have neatly tucked away, the feeling that I have never felt are coming to surface. I don't really want to get into that tonight. So I just wanted to say Hi and hope to get to know each of you a little better.,

Hi JAJ

Nice to meet you - I am cassie, recovering alcoholic and truly grateful to have found this site. My experiences here have led to a deeper commitment to recovery than I ever thought possible. Please keep coming back and let us know how you are doing. There is a site for on line journals, which many of us keep daily. Recovery is one of the decisions you will never, ever regret!

Thanks you all for the warm welcome and I feel as if I am at home. Happy to be here, and more than that happy to find a family that is loving and caring. I am running late for work so I just wanted to pop in and say thanks.

Hello JAJ,

congratulations on being clean....yet again, doesn't matter 'I' feel, the fact is "you are", and that is awesome!!!!, I've been a 'clean junkie' for just over 6 and half years, went through drug and 'alcohol' recovery for my drug addiciton for 9 months and only accepted that I'm also an alcoholic, in January this year!!!!

, yes I find it amusing now, as I can see how I was so easily are blinded into telling myself that I was 'ok' at the end of my 9 months, when in reality I was far from it....oh well, I'm here now and very grateful to be so, too many near misses in the past, Thank God, He loves me so much He wasn't ready to let me go. Hang in there friend and do keep coming back

ps...I have found that natural highs are so much more fun

and....there are no withdrawls.....yeeehaaa
