I’ve been here a few times but never posted, new to online support or any AA in general. I am thankful for the threads I’ve read full of words of encouragement. Confronting my alcohol addiction is real and going through the emotions without a liquid crutch is eye opening. Weed helps, cleaning also keeps me busy. Going from every other day having a drink. To daily having a 6pk and a one liter, or two depending on the night. I knew I had to do something about it. Health is taking a toll. I can’t continue living my life like this, and it isn’t cheap. I think about all the money I could be saving! I’m tempted but not giving in. I can do this and I know times will be trying and uncomfortable but not impossible.

Hi @Carli_D welcome to this site and the amazing people here who offer amazing support 24/7. Alcohol has come close to ruining my life; I found this site when I stopped drinking a 120 days ago, and everyone here is always ready to reach out.
Please know that it is a hard journey, but certainly not an impossible one. Stay close to this group. My best, Len

So glad you are here 
. Keep coming back when you get the urges and ye cleaning helps a lot! When the cravings hit and they soon pass so long as the stinking thinking is ignored. This for you and your health and a good life that you deserve
