Namaste
 

Hello! My name is Kadie with a D, and I am an alcoholic.

I am 37 years old, and have been drinking daily for 20 years. I said it was college, then 15 years of bartending, and now I have no excuse. My life had become COMPLETELY unmanageable, and I went to 7 days of detox, followed by 30 days of treatment this past October. I relapsed right before Christmas, sobered up for the holiday, then relapsed before the New Year.

I have been sober since January 1st. I began goiung to AA meetings daily on the 3rd. I am trying to emerse myself entirely in my sobriety. I found a group that I KNOW will be my home group. I am currently looking for a sponsor. I love to read and write about sobriety, and this amazing new path I have chosen.

Thank you,
