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. > [@Advice for the Newcomer and Constant Relapser](https://talkingsober.com/t/advice-for-the-newcomer-and-constant-relapser/11064/1): > > Sobriety and recovery is a process of walking away from the old days of drinking/using that don’t work anymore.

Tried to quit multiple times but couldn’t get more then 30 days sober pensive Decided to give myself an ultimatum: 1 year. 1 year to get sober myself otherwise I would go to see my doctor and ask fo… > [@Resources for our recovery](https://talkingsober.com/t/topic/52812/1): > > 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 … Blessings on your house 🙏 as you begin your journey out of darkness. --- _[View the full topic](https://talkingsober.com/t/hi-decided-to-quit-drinking-today-and-feeling-all-the-feelings/186289)._
