Hiya everyone
:hi:

I've been sober a walloping week and a half now.

I was heading down the garden path hand-in-hand with the bottle these past few months. After being called out on some bad behavior while drunk, I remembered my happy experience with Al-Anon years ago and decided to go to some meetings. I found a little treasure right under my nose.

God willing I'll stay this way and avoid a nasty bottom.

Congrats on the 1 1/2 weeks. Good work!
Let me know if you need anything. I'll help if I can, even if just to listen...(you know what I mean)

5. Hi Ellen
I am so glad you found our little corner of DU. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. I would even be willing to make the drive up to go to a meeting with you sometime.

6. Hi Ellen!
Welcome to our group.
:)

I'm so glad you're sober.

Remember, it's One Day at a Time,
sometimes even one hour at a time.

Just break it down as needed.

:pals:
