Hi! I am Jené (pronounced Janay). I have been on this app since October of 2016. After 40+ years of drinking – I am 51 years old – sobriety has been elusive. I am still here fighting and I will continue to fight. This is a family tree that needs new roots.
I am currently on Day 8. I attend online Recovery Dharma meetings and am looking forward to meeting in person again, whenever that may resume.
Whoever you are, wherever you’re from, whatever you’ve done - I am so glad you’re here.
I am Cliff, and my DOC is alcohol. I m a little over half a year sober now and I have been enjoying the new lifestyle. I really enjoy this forum and the wonderful people in it!
Happy New Year!. I am on Day 49 free of alcohol. First found this app on the day after Xmas 2016, and have been successful on several stretches since then, but always thought I could moderate. This time feels a bit different, as I feel my health has really suffered. I am 57, and want to play with grandchildren someday! I am from the Chicago area, but now have a home in the Rocky Mtns and a new home in San Diego. I am blessed with a husband of almost 32 years who has had my back every day. We haven’t discussed this recent non-drinking stretch specifically, but I feel his support nonetheless. Wishing everyone here a great 2021!
Hi, I’m 17 days sober and have never been on any forum before in my 41 years so, hi! I live in Swansea in Wales and am a mother of 2 adult sons and a 8 year old self proclaimed princess. My DOC was alcohol and this is not my first rodeo but I’m determined it will be my last. 17 days is the longest I’ve been booze free for at least 5 years so I’m feeling proud of myself…a new and rather intoxicating feeling in itself! After stumbling upon this forum today and as a first time poster I’d like to just say the support I see here is amazing and I look forward to becoming part of it…here’s to a sober and safe 2021!
Figgie here. Working on my second day 36. I WAS up to 90 when I had a glass on Thanksgiving. Am learning that I really don’t like alcohol all that much. It never got me in trouble, but it’s killed a few relatives and threatened my son. It’s also been an annoying whine in the back of my brain like a mosquito on a hot summer night. I think of places like this as a big ole fly swatter whenever booze ups my blood pressure. Plus, the memes are funny and there are actually pretty good recipes and an awesome community. I have high hopes to make 2021 a totally sober year. Cheers!
My name is Jeff. I am a husband and a father. I am also an alcoholic. Currently doing very well. Overall, had a great 2020 (with a few relapses) but I won more than I loss. I live in NC, 48 years old. Happy New Year all and good luck on your journey.
I’m rabbitt. I am a longshoreman in Los Angeles CA. With a wife going thru sobriety at 5 months and me with 4 tomorrow. Plus 2 boys 15, and 12. I’m in the middle of my 5th step and my wife is on her 9th.
Hello everyone! I am 47-days nicotine-free, after 3 resets I am 8 days without porn or masturbating, and I (after a month and a half of preparation) will be giving up refined sugar tomorrow.
I have D.I.D., suffered with suicidal ideation and self-injury (1.5 years sober from that! Woohoo!) and have been in and out of psych wards since I was a child.
My mother is addicted to shopping and pills, is a hoarder and narcissistic. My father took his life in 2012, before that he was an alcoholic.
I do not write this as a sob story, not at all! I write this to give hope.
I have spent so many days in the crippling coldness of the dark. But the sun eventually rises, I promise the sunrise is worth the wait!
Hi hi I’m apes…daily meth user since 2012… On my second stint of being clean. I’m at one month as of yesterday. Prior to that short few days relapse I had about 7 months clean… Lifes good now… I’m in a great place mentally physically and emotionally. I’ve been on TS for over a year now… This place has contributed enormouslly to my sobriety
Well helloooo! I’m Becky. I will be 7 months sober from alcohol next Saturday. I am the mother of 5, 4 adult sons and 1 pre-teen daughter. I stumbled across TS after being sober for five weeks and got tired of counting on my toes and fingers. I live amongst the cows in California (yes we have cows lol). I love my kids, my dog, and my TS community
