New here, glad I found this app. not really sure where to start but been clean of weed for 24 days and alcohol 5 days (6 today if I stay clean) i feel stuck between 2 walls, it’s been 3 weeks since I’ve seen my son (1 year old) at the end of January under supervised contact. Local authority always keep bringing up the fact what if I relapse, and I do feel like I’m going too, no matter what I do it’s never good enough, I lost all my friends and most of my family.

One day at a time Daniel! Great job for reaching out for help. None of us can do it alone. Im new in sobriety too, and the thought if never drinking again is too much for me. But i can tell myself im not going to drink today, for the next hour, or even just the next 5 minutes. Remind yourself what will happen if you pick up. What will happen that night, the next day, the next week? Nothing good. Check in here, go to a zoom meeting, take a walk/shower/nap, eat a snack, anything but using! We are rooting for you!!
