Thanks Ed,
I am glad to be here. Let me ask you a question, if you don't mind. What do you keep telling yourself, or asking yourself that got you off drinking and keeps you sober and happy?

Anthony, It has been my experience that you just live one day at a time. My sponsor told me five years ago, go to meetings everyday and don't pick up in between meetings. In the beginning, meetings is what I held on to. If I had to go to five…
I can certainly relate to that issue. As someone who put together a lot of couple weeks here and there, what I found did the trick toward, one day at a time, long-term sobriety, was taking and believing the first step. "We admitted we were…

Glad you are here! Be sure to check out the online meetings - they are fab (click "main site" link above, click on meeings/chat, login as guest, go into room where the meeting is) - I've never been disappointed attending!
Also there are several that meet most weekday mornings to just hang out and chat and encourage, pray, giggle, cry - and call a meeting if anyone needs one on a moments notice. Stop in if you are ever free in the mornings.
What has worked for me is to read the Big Book (written by the founders of AA), get a sponsor (a mentor to help you stay clean and work the steps), and attend a meeting. Some folks suggest 90 meetings the first 90 days (one per day) to give you a strong start to stay off using.
Blessings, Peace & Serenity on your journey!
