Hey there,
I think you are trying to start a new thread introducing yourself but are struggling to do so! Feel free to post your story right here if you like. These boards can be hard to navigate when you're new.

:welcome:

JoneTrees,

There is a link in the "Health Store" to download the book. I believe it has all the directions you need.

Lots of people have problems figuring out how to use this website so no worries. Just ask and you will learn.

btw, :welcome:, I am glad you are here and I look forward to getting to know you.

Sassy, that was so nice of you to start the thread for Jone! You are a real sweetie!!!
Jone,
I'm glad you are where you can be seen. Don't ever hesitate to ask someone how to do something; there are a lot of computer saavy people around here-they have helped me bunches. You and I are close to the same age and I, too, realized that my drinking would soon affect my health, so here I am. This is a very comfortable place to talk about anything you need to talk about. We support each other in all times of stress. Go on any thread you would like...there are no boundaries. I, myself, have stayed away from the "31 days AF and beyond" thread only because I have not reached that point. I am 20 AF and feeling pretty solid (right now). I hope you enjoy it here! Kriger

Sassy, what a sweetie you are!!!
Jone, think I welocmed you before but not sure if you saw it so :welcome: once again. Yep this site can be a bit complicated. I hope you have managed to download the book if not you can get it from Amazon.
We are a compasiionate bunch here and really like to help where we can. We are all going through tough stuff and it is lovely not to feel so alone.
So post away, let us get to know you and stay close. You will be fine.

Cindi, you are doing so great. I follow your posts but find it hard to keep up with you ! Just wanted to say Well done, you are an inspiration to me!

Kriger, GREAT JOB on your 20 days. You must be so very proud of yourself!

Jonestrees,
I wish I had started a thread for you - didn't think of it. Thanks to SassyGirl for thinking of this. These forums are puzzling at first, but you will learn as you go along, and it will get easier. Now your ton of new friends has a place where we can look for you, and help you figure out how you can help yourself. This si a great place for you to be. Just keep coming back, seek advice, and follow through with one of the choices offered to you. Being honest with yourself can be surprisingly hard for most of us. Take good care, keep posting and thinking.

Welcome Jone,

For we "fifty-somethings" navigating this site is not a natural skill. Now, if we had had Facebook in our avocado-green apartments it would certainly be easier! But fortunately, computer skill is not a necessary ingredient for sobriety so we can learn as we go. Good for you for having your "this is IT" moment and are putting your health and welfare as priority #1. Be sure to read the book and engage as much of the program as you can. To your health!

Vera-b.
