May I suggest doing the gratitude thing they have here? In tough times it’s a game changer to remind yourself that there are things you can be grateful for. You’ve made the first step in reaching out which is amazing. It’s always a hard thing for me to do lol. I promise things will get better

Welcome and congratulations on the first 24! It’s an amazing thing taking the first step. A bit of advice…Be gentle on yourself, you have been dragged through the pit of he!l. Get involved with a program of some kind. We can not do this recovery stuff alone! AA was my saving grace. Download the apps “in the rooms, and the Meeting Guide. Both are great tools. Just keep doing the next right thing.

Welcome Magen!! I for sure know how it can feel, I’ve tried a few times and I’m on round four. I’ve learned not to be embarrassed about that though, it’s about the journey and the progress. Everyone above me is right. You’ve made the first step!
I don’t know about you but I’m a very artsy hands on guy. Keeping my hands busy keeps my mind busy. I tend to my house plants (I have about 45 houseplants) I make babies out of them and give them to friends and family, I paint and draw, crochet. I also like to walk and drive. Yesterday I had a craving and hopped in my car and went on a 45 mile drive just clearing my head lol.
Here’s to day 2!!

Going to AA groups helps me. Telling the truth to people who understand. It was extremely hard at first… but amazingly, one hour , one morning, one afternoon, one evening at a time. You got this. Alcohol doesn’t need to own you, rule over your life. You have a choice. Pull power from your higher power

Welcome to the community.
Welcome 
Hang in there. I see you're in Denver, I am too. Feel free to reach out if you need someone local who gets the struggle. I'm on day 5 after relapsing again, and know how tough it is to find sober company when you're feeling alone
