That was a good read. For the newcomers as well for me. Glad to be a part of this tribe for years, glad to be sober for years.
Thank you for being here and making this forum be the backup for so many of us

Thank you for your share, Scott. The message from the Divine, the red letter days, these happen to so many of us in unique ways. It’s great to hear we are all part of a whole, necessary warps and woofs to make the pattern of living.
To the newcomer, we welcome you warmly. We need you and your experience to help grow our sobriety!

As a newbie, this was good to read. I’ve done Dry January before but my sobriety always gave way to my desire to fit in and be part of the crowd. I’m hoping to find my new crowd here. I’ve lots to learn! Thank you.

100% get that. Then one day I wrote down all the bad things drinking did for me. That list was so darn long…i no longer wanted to fit in.
I wish you well on your Journey and hope you find what you need here!
