Hi there.

New here. Sober for 4 days, over a month with 2 relapses. Here for insight and encouragement.

Looking forward to being part of this community.

Thanks.

Hey Carrie,

Welcome to Talking Sober. Congratulations on your journey.

Welcome glad you found us. This community and alcoholics anonymous have been inspirational in my sobriety journey. There are many paths and so much to learn. Get curious.

What helped kickstart my latest journey was the 30 day alcohol experiment by annie grace. Its free online.

Welcome Carrie, congratulations on your 4 days. Glad you found us.

This is a great sober forum to get and give support. Have a good read around. Join in when you’re comfortable.

Resources for our recovery

There are so many helpful resources available to us on our sober journeys. I wanted to share this list for those who are interested in non traditional resources. Please note: I created this thread with alcohol recovery in mind and it is U.S. based as well. As a straight white past middle age woman (SassyRocks), it is based on what resonated and helped me in my journey. Over time, I have added in resources for some other addictions (found at the end of this post), but it is heavy with resources …
