My first time here and first time ever doing anything like this. 7 days sober. No booze. No drugs. I’m ashamed of some of the things I have done, and I want to be a better person. I’m extremely introverted so it’s hard for me to share, but I just can’t go another day trying to solve my problems alone in silence. I hope I can give to all of you a fraction of what I expect I’ll receive.

Welcome. I don’t share a lot of personal things either, but if you stick around you will find something to do here and you’ll make connections. That alone can help. Find what works for you, but know that everyone here knows what it’s like to start the journey.

Welcome. I am glad you are here and hope you will stay to learn, heal, share, and grow.
1366 days ago, and after many tries at sobriety, I decided that I never wanted to drink again. I have also come here to the forum, pretty much every single one of those 1366 days. I think it has made a huge difference.

Welcome! This community doesn’t judge, we love, support, encourage & most of all listen. I have also done things that I am not proud of. The most important thing is that I finally realize I matter & deserve to be sober/clean & happy! I will always be an addict (alcohol) it wasn’t by choice, but I do choose another day of sobriety.
