It’s a great pleasure to say that The Discovering Alcoholic hasn’t missed a nightly update in over a year and readership has increased by the thousands, so I figured introductions are in order for those new to the site. You have probably already guessed by the site name that yes, I am a recovering alcoholic clean and sober without relapse since the fall of 94’ and keep feeling better everyday. I am proud of my recovery and often share this fact.
I consider most substance addictions as birds of a feather, not making great distinction between drug addicts and alcoholics. It is my belief that any step toward recovery is a smart step and I support most programs including AA, NA, MA, religious groups, self-styled, and rehabs. I am a member of a substance abuse task force, hold a recovery class every week at a local methadone clinic, always have at least one or two alcoholics/addicts to which I act as a sponsor, and of course there is TDA. I have found through my efforts of attempting to help others that my own spirituality, confidence, and appreciation of life greatly increases.

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I posted a blog on anything. I have tried to make comments on TDA's posts from time to time to stay in the loop. Today is a special day for TDA (it's not actually today but soon) and I thought I would write my own post and hope it worthy enough for him to post on the front page so he could take a little break today or tomorrow from writing. As you can tell he is pretty adamant about keeping the site updated every day - no matter how he feels physically, mentally, or what demands the rest of the world has for him. He knows this is part of his recovery and that it must come first.
