Just another newbie

[timeformetofly]

Just wanted to say hi. I am now sober of 11 months and two weeks this coming Monday. It's been a tough one, but not the drinking part (now) but the adjusting with people part. I wonder if it is just me. But so many things get on my nerves. I am not a very pleasant lady to be around. Anyways hello everyone. For 30 years, Alcohol was my best friend.

Congratulations on getting sober! Hardest thing in the world to do. I've gotten clean twice but always end up falling back off. Even with significant time clean and sober, I always get social anxiety and occasionally get annoyed with people for no reason. Part of being a human i suppose.

So, if you're clean and planning to stay that way, why are you on Bluelight?

Well, I thought it was a support group. Am I wrong?

There is definitely some recovery here, but when I think of bluelight, i think of talking to people about using. Thats 90% of what I see on here, maybe i'm looking in the wrong place.

True but we are all just a second from using again.

Well, welcome to Bluelight for sure friend! In my eyes, everyone is welcome here! I'm a (struggling with recovery) Oxycodone addict...we all have our demons, my dear.
