Hi my name is Curtis. I live in the middle of nowhere and everyone I know has an addiction problem. I love my circle of people but I feel it’s time to start making some sober friends. I’m 88 days sober today and am taking my recovery very seriously. It would just be nice to talk to some people who are struggling with sobriety all alone like I am.

Welcome! I can totally relate…neighbors over a mile away in any direction. Just about everyone I know either indulges in some sort of habit, or are a brand of religious I struggle to stomach in large doses.

22 years as an active alcoholic. Over the years I messed up a lot of things and regret every mistake I’ve made, but it wasn’t enough to stop. This last summer I put my son’s life in danger and that was the end for me. I was a mess so I called the crisis hotline and 2 days later was in 28 day rehab. It was a great experience and I learned so much. Practicing sobriety in the real world is a different story but I haven’t relapsed in 88 days. What keeps me straight is the love of my wife and son, my houseplants, the many hours of counseling and meetings on zoom every week, and the number one thing is fear. I fear the monster that I once was and I fear dying from my addiction because I pushed it too far.
Anyways, it’s nice to meet all of you and I’m happy to be here.

Welcome! Congrats on 88 days! I hope you find some sober people in your life…at least you have us here now! It took a bit for me to find a sober friend in person but having this helped me and still does so much.
I wanted to share a thread with you since you like plants!
