Hey Danielle,
It's ok to be scared because this is new. Starting over means you haven't given up.
Try whatever works for you.
I strongly suggest to get to the root of what's causing you drink/use. Think of a plant. If it's roots aren't anchored into solid ground, it won't grow. That process will be scary, but that's fine.
You're not alone in this.
Have a spiritual program, therapist, and meetings. AA or Smart Recovery. Whatever works best for you. I don't know if you're detoxing alone, but I would seek medical help first. One step at a time.
God lives you!!!
All the best to you, and I hope you feel better soon. You can get through this.
I'll check my messages to see if you responded.

I had depression for the last two days. It sucks. I have stuff to do but I have no desire to do them. I did a zoom NA meeting today and shared my message. Felt good afterwards. Going to rest up tonight. I have to keep telling myself it’s going to be ok. God has a plan for me. Hang on these depressive states come on go.

Thank you. The depression and anxiety are really hard to deal with. I’m glad you got some relief from NA
Thinking about zoom meetings and this was encouraging

You’re welcome Danielle, zoom meetings are great way to hear the message. I do like going to in person meetings. Tomorrow I have an 8pm meeting AA. I like both but AA is the one I really like. The AA big book is a wonderful read. Helps me better understand what I’m going through. Plus the stories in the second half of the book directly relate to my story. I’m fact I could change the names in each story and put mine in there. It’s that close.
Have a wonderful night filled with love and peace within. We all need each other for support.
