Welcome!! great job on 2 1/2 days!! You can do it! Meetings really help a lot of people.have you been to any?
No I’m very lost right now in a dark place don’t even know where to start
Sorry you are feeling that way.when I was new to sobriety it really helped to go to meetings.hearing and seeing how others dealing with similar issues, and how they work through them.it's an amazing experience
I agree with James. You made the first step by admitting that you have a problem with alcohol. Start by going to a meeting. Two free apps to download are “in the rooms” and “meeting guide” both will give you times and locations close to you with meetings. Don’t be afraid of going. We are all there to help you. This is a we program. Every one of us knows what you are going through, because it has happens to us on some degree.
Hi Cindy! Just echoing the previous replies about meetings and what a good first step it is. If you feel broken, show up that way. No one worth their salt there will have anything but care and understanding. You don't have to talk or do anything but sit if you want. The first 2 days are the worst and you've shown yourself great love in that struggle. You deserve to feel good about that. You deserve to feel better every day.
The hardest step is acknowledging you have a problem. The next is asking yourself what are going to do about it. Go to A.A., get a sponsor, visit this site. We are all in this together!
