I'm new here. I'm working on alcoholism here, but like others I have many problems in my head, but not many things wrong in my life. I've been sober several of my 68 years, but only a few months or a few days at a time. This is day 3 this time. I can elaborate if anyone wants to listen. I can listen if anyone wants to talk.

Two technical questions.
1. It says on my profile page(?) I have been sober 0 days. Is that supposed to be an automatic counter or how do I set it each day?
2. I would like to share my information with my wife. I have security set to "only people on DS", but I set her as a friend when I registered. Can she get my information without joining the DS site? How?

Any other information about how I can use this site to help me or to help others?
