Welcome and congratulations on becoming a father. I am fairly new to this site but have already gotten a lot from others here. It took me 54 years and a suicide attempt to finally address my addictive behavior. I was discharged from rehab center May 27th so pretty fresh out here too. I have fallen into a pattern of good habits without forethought. It’s a blessing. I’m finding that being consistent is really keeping me centered. I haven’t had any urges. There are many wise people here and everyone has a willingness to help one another. I’m really glad a friend told me about it. Again welcome.
I don’t know if you journal if you like to write down your thoughts and feelings privately It’s another nice feature
