How do I start!

[Em2023]

I am desperately seeking advice on how to make the first step. I have 0 discipline, and feel like my only option is to completely move away and start a fresh. Any advice

What are you trying to stop? Welcome to the forum

Sometimes a fresh start is good, but often no matter how far away we go, there we are.

Here is a link full of resources to check out.

Resources for our recovery

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 with alcohol recovery in mind and it is U.S. based as well. As a straight white past middle age woman, 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 for alcohol recovery…

I don’t know what your addiction is but:

Remove all of it from your house.
Do not go to, or near to places where you buy it from.
Read and educate yourself about the addiction.
Come on this forum a lot and talk.
Look after yourself.
Tell people who can help support you, us here or friends and family as well.
