I am on my first day of sobriety. After multiple relapses and lost most of my friendships and relationships I found myself drunk in a hotel room and I tried to take my life. I somehow survived and I haven’t much of a support network so here I am.. Day one

Welcome to Talking Sober Whit. Sorry to hear you are hurting. You are not alone anymore. People are here from all over the world, day and night. One day at a time we recover. I have heard that sometimes we need to lose it all before we find sanity.
Don’t use today, read around here and get to know some of us.

I’ve heard it gets much worse before it gets better, I’m hoping I stay on track with sobriety this time and gain my life back. I survived that attempt so I owe it to whatever kept me alive

It can get very tough in the early days. Make a good plan and don’t rely on luck, or even your will power. There is a thread here called What’s Your Plan. It lays out what to expect. Also, get rid of anything that could be used to get you high.

Welcome 
. I’m glad you found your way here, and hope we can support each other. What were you doing to stay sober before? Sounds like you have had a few attempts before, but here are some threads that might provide inspiration.

I tried alot of different things over the years exercise, being in nature but I never stuck to them. I didn’t realise I was capable of suicide so when I survived I feel I owe it to myself to beat this once and for all. Thank you ill check those out now

Welcome to TS, I’m glad you’re here 
.
Every time you fight the craving it’s a win, they add up. Eventually the desire will leave you. Never crave alone. Best wishes to you.

That’s a victory Whit, may many follow!
But be prepared for difficult days to come and have a plan B to make them become a victory too. This app is my sober club for more than 6 years now, sober since. Hope it will do the same for you. It works if you work it 
Another good thread to read is this one:
If you have any questions just ask, there is always someone awake here to answer them.
And welcome here ofcourse!
