Well joining this app is a good start. :slightly_smiling_face: Depending on where you are in your sobriety journey, checking out an AA meeting online or in person is a good starting point.

Support is crucial to success. I know from experience you can’t do this alone. I’m 3 months sober with a great support group. Message me anytime.

If withdrawals are an issue with quitting like myself, a medical detox is key. Essentially, you're medicated and given IVs to counter the withdrawals and you sleep a lot for 3-4 days, without anxiety of dying bc your vitals, etc are being monitored. I've detoxed a few times in my past and there is no question that is the way to do it. Many hospitals have these specialized protocols or there are stand alone detox facilities everywhere. Just Google places near you and choose one with decent Google reviews. They accept all insurance including Medicaid/Medicare and even sign u up if no insurance many times Good luck!

I’ve struggled a couple years now. Always drank socially. Last couple years I have periods of drinking for days or weeks while functioning and still working, taking care of my family. But now it’s become too much. My teen daughter is now holding me accountable. I just had a week of drinking secretly everyday. Using gum and chapstick to try to hide the smell. Today I found this app and my intention is to stop drinking again. But I hope that this app and interacting with others will help to keep me sober. Hang in there. I’m right there with you. It’s not easy. Have faith :heart:
