Welcome to the forum Alden! Glad to have you with us. This place for me has been the difference between failures before and success with being sober now. You know, reading your post you know exactly what to do. Maybe you’re asking how to quit drinking and be sober. Let me tell you it takes a plan. It takes work. It takes other people to help you. Did you read the first post you saw when you became a member of this forum? It might help.
Indeed I’m still learning to feel. it’s hard work, but it’s worth it, so much so. There is a way out friend. Alcohol makes us believe there isn’t. There is. Together we can do it. Alone it’s too much. So welcome again, and wishing you all success.
