First time doing anything like this so go easy…
Went through a toxic breakup and found I turned to alcohol too much. Lately it’s gotten worse and affecting me as a parent. So I have to make a change. I’m quite worried about the coming days and weeks and the chance I’ll slip up and buy a bottle! So hopefully here will help. Thanks

Welcome to the forum Kim! Congratulations on making that first big step. Getting clean and sober was one of the best things i ever did! It can be scary at first but it does get easier over time. If i could suggest anything, it would be to come on here first before u drink. As soon as u get the urge, jump on here and let us help u thru it 
Sending u strength and hope today!

Not a plan as such…. Just telling those closest to me and avoiding certain social situations for a while

I am a supporter of a recovery program, AA.DHARMA or SMART. Many resources online or in person.

Welcome Kimmy.
It’s always good to have a plan. Even if that plan is ODAAT one day at a time.
My plan was gratitude. Write and read gratitude every morning to start my day.
And don’t pic up.
Have a good read around. Stick with us winners.
Here’s a good thread to start.

Welcome Kim and congratulations on taking the first step. This app kept me sober for a year before I decided to enter the rooms of AA. There is always someone here to talk you through the day moments.

Such a wise choice Kimmy. Welcome!
I’m a few days from 10 months and this site, these people all helped me tremendously.
That said, you have to help yourself the most cause only you can do this. The best part of that though is that you can absolutely do this and the rewards and improvement in life overall is so so worth it.
I wish you the best and like has been mentioned come back if you need help. Read the stories and information here a ton. Rest as much as you need and when you are ready start living a great and healthy life!
