What's your game plan? What are you doing to stay sober/clean? Do you have a support system built of people who have gone/are going through what you're going through?

Sindel. Good for you. Being sick of our craziness and empty internal life is a good starting point. I firmly believe finding a good meeting and going as much as you need us a great start. I also know God as understand God sent me a sponsor before I had any idea what one was for. My best sponsor walked me through the steps as in the big book. It's really a step by step set of actions we do. But I went through 3 years of going to meetings just saying what I heard before I realized there was more and I was willing to do it. I didn't get to willingness until I was miserable and not drinking or using. You are not alone. You are a part of a huge group of people who need sobriety more than anything else in the universe. Please keep going to meetings and quietly say to God "please help me" just because we're in AA doesn't mean everything will be all sunshine and smiles. You cried out for help here. Stay open and honest it's ok to not look like a person who has it all together.

You have alot of great advice up there from folks who have this thing and gotten to the other side. Be gentle with yourself and you are not alone you are so incredibly loved.

Step 1 is admitting you have a problem and need help. Sounds like you've already begun your sober journey. I would recommend a medical detox to really jump start your sobriety. It makes the awful symptoms much more manageable; usually takes around 4 days then hopefully you try a rehab or at least group meetings like AA or SMART. Good luck!
