I had a wake up call yesterday. Have a very unhealthy relationship with alcohol that just hurts me in the end. Need to do this for me.

Welcome Whitney!
They say hitting a rock bottom can be the solid foundation on which to build your recovery on so good on you for recognising that things need to change and reaching out on here. It’s not an easy step to take but you’re doing it 
I agree, 100% we need to do it for ourselves. (I tried to stop for my family and my kids and that wasn’t even enough to stop me from picking up that drink 
) once I decided I was doing it for me, it was a game changer.
Here is a link from the forum with lots of useful information
It’s great to have you on board, this forum has played a huge role in my sobriety and maybe it will for you too x

Welcome Whitney! Sounds like you got a solid plan in place. I also go to AA and come here daily. It’s been working for almost 3 years now. I hope to see you here often.

I battled with quitting until I hit a rock bottom. I asked for outpatient treatment. It was so good for me to talk and be around different people. Since then I’ve been a new person. I’m sharing my story because if you decide you want it, go get the help you need. Tell everyone you’re quitting and want their help. It is around you everywhere. Best of luck!
