Drew, if you’re curious about AA I highly recommend checking out Russell Brand’s podcast on recovery and the 12 steps on YouTube. It’s an eye opener for real. If you watch it 1:13 minutes long, let me know what u think.

Hey @Drew95, Welcome!! I am definitely not new (here or IRL). :wink:

FYI, to you and @Suns6793 …when you are new, the ‘system’ has you ‘earn’ ‘trust’ and how we do that is by interacting on the forum…likes, reading different threads, commenting, starting topics, etc. As we gain trust with the system, we earn stuff…like additional likes and the ability to send or receive PMs, upload photos, and such. In this way, the system identifies those who are actively utilizing and interacting with the forum and members. And you also meet other members and what may or may not have helped them in their journey…plus loads of other info!!!

Hope that explains a wee bit how it works, system wise. In real life…this place helped me get and stay sober…not all by itself, but as a very important tool in my sober toolbox. :purple_heart:

And we all started on day 1. :heavy_check_mark:

Hey thank you @H123

3 years sounds amazing… just thinking of how much more money I’d have and less brain fog / side effects / cravings.
