Hiya, I'm Fluffy.  I started my sober journey in 2015 after 40+ years of drinking, a heavy day drinker for ~ the last 15 years of my drinking career.  High liver enzymes prompted a detox in Nov 2015 and I remained sober for 6 months.  I slipped in May 2016 and was quickly back to where I started.  I found Annie Grace and her 30 Day Alcohol Experiment in Nov 2019.  I slipped after 60 days, reset and continue to be abstinent ODAAT.

After being diagnosed with MS 37 years ago at the age of 19, I became addicted to amphetamines of any kind because I was so fatigued all the time. 20+ years later I decided to TRY to get sober on my own from crystal meth.

King 13...

In Jan 2023 thanks to the IAS Community and Sobertown I celebrated two years of sobriety. With a background of thirty years in Sales & Management I lived in the US for twenty years and am now back in Australia. I love hearing about people and their backgrounds and how addiction became part of their lives. We at Sobertown strive to help, educate and bring hope to those who like myself felt lost coming into sobriety. With connection and awareness you can lead a fulfilled sober life. Best decision I ever made.
