Just joined

Hi,
I just joined today. Very cool. A lot of positive community. I’m sober since 94. I got sober at 23 back when flannel and grunge were big. Lol. Grateful for the program. Feel free to contact me anytime, glad to have joined.

Almost 30 years! Thanks is great. What tips do you have for us?

Thanks Amanda. I’d say consistent meetings, getting a sponsor who can talk you off a ledge and do the steps,a home group to get to know people, involvement in some way, find a higher power of your understanding. The big thing especially in this pandemic is: talk to others about how you feel good and bad. Get it out. I know a number of people in the last year who didn’t share with others and they relapsed with some bad situations. That would be my advice not that I do anything perfectly.

This is solid advice. Thank you.

I agree we need to do better about getting the bad out and respecting those who do. We have treated venting and cries for help as complaining and that's not true.
