I never felt like I had a problem. I watched myself ruin so much for myself and others. I want to be sober. I want to be better. I’m just not sure how. Day 3.

Welcome. I found reading about my doc (alcohol) helped me. “Alcohol Explained” by William Porter helped really clarify what I guess I always suspected and helps me with any future desire to drink. Reading about other people’s paths on here is good too.
There are plenty of resources on here which I’m sure will be recommended to you.
Good luck with your journey and congratulations on your 3 days, that’s a great start. 👍

> There are so many helpful resources available to us on our sober journeys. I wanted to share this list for those who are interested in non traditional resources. Please note: I created this thread with alcohol recovery in mind and it is U.S. based as well. As a straight white past middle age woman (SassyRocks), it is based on what resonated and helped me in my journey. Over time, I have added in resources for some other addictions (found at the end of this post), but it is heavy with resources …

Very glad to meet you here Amanda. Day 3 already lady, that’s worth a big deal and says to me you can do the next one too. Just do it one day at a time. Learn a bit each and every day. Hanging out here certainly is a good help. So much help and knowledge here. And you’re not alone. We’re together on our roads towards better lives. That for me probably has been the biggest help, knowing I’m not alone. Together we can do this. And the more the better. Welcome and all success to you Amanda!
