I don’t think anyone needs to hit rock bottom or hurt someone to get sober. You’re doing something AMAZING by taking that preventative first step. You don’t have to do this alone. This forum is an excellent resource, and the only way that I’ve been able to be sober for as long as I have been. There are also lots of other resources available.

As a straight white past middle age woman (SassyRocks), it is based on what resonated and helped me in my journey.
