Welcome Shelly! You are in the right place to get started off with support and resources. @SassyRocks posted that I bookmarked for myself and maybe you’ll find helpful too.
There are so many helpful resources available to us on our sober journeys. I wanted to share this list for those who are interested in non traditional resources.
Please note: I created this thread with alcohol recovery in mind and it is U.S. based as well. As a straight white past middle age woman (SassyRocks), it is based on what resonated and helped me in my journey. Over time, I have added in resources for some other addictions (found at the end of this post), but it is heavy with resources …
Here’s another helpful link:
Sobriety and recovery is a process of walking away from the old days of drinking/using that don’t work anymore. It’s embracing uncomfortable change for the better and deciding to not stay where you were. It’s learning to love yourself enough to say “I can’t live like this anymore and I need help”.
Please add here the advice that you would like to gives to others. What tips and tricks has worked for your sobriety? What can someone newly sober expect on this journey?
