:new:Hi everyone.....I just found this site by someone that recommended to me. I'm happy to be here and share my journey with you. This time around I have about 41/2 months of sobriety and close to three months not smoking. I know you are not suppose to do them together but I had to because I was constantly sick with allergies and sinus infections. I currently go to AA but I need more to supplement my recovery. My journey began many years ago but I just couldn't get it. I couldn't understand why I couldn't drink and I fought it for way to long. Most of my family is alcoholics do I need to say more. I'm a grandmother and 54 years old (well 55 tomorrow) but who's counting right. I know in my heart I cannot live the old life anymore but struggling a bit with the emotional part of recovery....hardest part for me. I have enjoyed reading all the posts and learned alot from them. I was up until almost midnight just reading them all. Looking forward to getting to know all of you...

hi sunny,welcom to MWO alcoholism is a struggle,the mental part being the most difficult,always remember your sobriety is for you,even having children or gran children will not make you stop,i to am in your age bracket , and have struggled with alchoholism and depression for the last ten years,since coming here the people are incredible,open up,have a sense of humor and you'll have a great time,always remember we have an illness of sort,i do wish you well gyco
