This is my day 1 at being completely sober. I need to do this for me. I have zero support for my problem because nobody knows I have a problem. I need a friend on here to keep me in check please.

Congrats on step 1. Admitting you are powerless over alcohol and your life has become unmanageable.
(If it is alcohol) either way welcome to the sober journey.
I would recommend getting to a meeting or into some program. Sobriety is a WE thing for most people. We can not do it alone. AA worked for me. Getting plugged in, finding a sponsor and working the steps is a way to figure out why the addiction took over, and forgiving yourself. It’s a rollercoaster and not easy but completely worth it. The app “meeting finder” is free and it gives you all the times and locations of meetings in your area.
My last bit of advice is be gentle with yourself. Don’t try to fix everything right away. That comes later. Be honest when in the meetings, and you will get the most out of them. Trust me we are not as covert as we think we are when in addiction. People know more than you think. Good luck man.
Yeah man it's worth it. I'm new and not that long sober yet (one day at a time though!), But it truly like giving up pain and gaining so much more. I'm glad you're here
Thank you guys it’s really nice to have someone on my side for once looking out for me.
Congratulations it's a big small step
