Beginning my journey

I hit rock bottom this weekend and ended up in jail friday night… I’m 28 years old and I’ve never had a criminal record in my life. Not even a ticket. I have to do court ordered alcohol and drug tests.
I’ve been thinking about quitting alcohol for a few months now. I know I have a problem. Im not my self when i drink and I’ve been quick to anger when I do. I said I was done drinking time and time again but I always found a “reason” to drink. I’m upset with my self that it took this event to open my eyes. I feel like I’ve let alot of people down including my self. I need to start some deep self healing and be the person i used to be and find my spark again. I guess rock bottom is where it starts. I’m scared yet optimistic and determined.

Welcome Sam.
I’d be scared too Sam. I was scared when I started my sober journey. I hope you have a plan. This is a great community to get and give support. Have a good read around. Join in when and where you’re comfortable.

You got any questions just ask. We were all new once. And by helping other people get and stay sober that keeps me sober. It’s a beautiful thing. It ain’t easy. But it will be worth it. The hardest part for me was. Asking for help.
Hope to see you around.
