It seems to be doing the trick for me. I haven't drank a drop for 4 whole days.

Hi.
I'm Mike and I'm an alcoholic in Boston, MA. Is this board only for Al-anon or is it for alcoholics too? I'd love to participate but don't want to violate the integrity of the board. I've been sober 10 years and am looking for a good online step site. Thanks, Mike
