Welcome to the community, Ciera. You’ve come to the right place to get some support! Starting out on getting sober can be really hard, but you don’t have to do it alone. The most important thing is to keep trying - as long as you have a desire to get sober and don’t give up you have a chance.
If you’re comfortable, you could share a bit more about what you’re getting sober from, what you’ve tried so far and what is making it difficult.

The good news is you have lots of support and if you take it one day at a time, you will get there.
