Welcome Noel-Marie and @Gin-gin-girl to Talking Sober! This is a good safe place to be when you are trying to not drink. There are folks who have had successful sobriety using mostly this forum without too many other resources, but most of us got more help in one way or another. I came to Talking Sober well along into sobriety, but since finding TS, and especially since the pandemic, it is my daily dose of sobriety medicine and I am grateful to have found this place.
Here are some threads for getting started.
Blessings on your house as you begin your journey out of darkness.
