Hey Gregg…. Sorry about your job but this is a good start if your looking for help , best advice I can give you is stay connected , do the work …. I also lost my job years ago because of drinking , felt like my world was closing but staying sober things do get better , hang in there
Gregg attend an AA meeting everyday for the next 30 to 90 days …. It’ll work if you work it

Community is everything. I've tried doing it alone, didn't work. If you're not sure about 12 step there are lots of non 12 step too! SMART Recovery is one of my favs and they have lots of online options.

Your in the right place. Find some AA meetings in your area. Show up and listen. See if you identify with anyone.
That’s where you start to get the solution.

Go to meetings. I avoided them for years. At least a decade. They make a huge difference. Even online meetings, it doesn't matter. Everyone's life tells a story and we all have so much yet to learn. Glad that you made the first step. Keep on keepin on!

Everyone that replied is awesome and correct! I couldn’t get and stay sober alone. I had to make my sobriety the number 1 priority in my life! Over finance, romance and even family! Yes even family. Because sober I can have everything, not sober I lose everything and everyone.
You got this if you really want it.
I’ll friend request you. You can reach out to me if you’re serious. Best of luck!
If I had it to do over again, I would try MAT over abstinence. Specifically the Sinclair method. I've spent almost half my life in abstinence, but now there are other options. But alcohol is a class 1 carcinogen, same as nicotine, so perhaps I would've gotten cancer if drinking. Only you can decide your path, and a lot of folks will have opinions about it. Contentment is key.
