Welcome to the forum and good for you on deciding to pursue sobriety. This is a good place to start. I was super reckless when I’d drink. I’ve been the source of a lot of pain for those I cared about. So I can relate. A ton of other people here can as well. As I’m sure you’re going to be finding out. But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

Below is a link to a thread. It has a ton of resources that others have found helpful in their recovery. Take a look and see if anything looks like something you’d be interested in and give it a try. Also, read a bunch here and check in often. 👍🏻
