Welcome HereIAm,
Have a good read around here. This place has been a great place for me to get support in my sobriety. Addiction is too tough to go it alone. We are stronger in numbers. And we are all worth it.
Here are two good threads to start:

Welcome. I can’t say it will be easy, but I can say in that completly expected cliche way that it will be worth it. I hope this forum offers you something you can add to your sobriety toolbox.

Hi and welcome,
You will find many people here who will have lived your experiences, shared your thoughts and walked many miles in your shoes. The first thing you should always bear in mind here is that we have all been where you are, some of us more than once and you are not alone. You are not the only one who has walked that long and dark path.
As a community here we support each other every step of the way, whether that is your first step or the next step on the endless road to recovery.
This is not a sprint, nor is it a marathon, it is an obstacle course, the obstacles will be every thought, choice and decision you make through every minute of every day. Take one step, one minute, one hour, one day at a time. Keep moving forward, baby steps are progress so don’t feel like you have to walk or run.
Support is always here, inspiration and comfort to be found in many peoples stories and posts. Just knowing others are feeling the same, going through the same and willing to do whatever they can to support you is a great feeling.
You are not alone, you are taking control of your life and you are in the right place to get the help and support you need.

Man I’ve only sober for a few days but I check this app every morning and every night. Sharing and reading stories about other people really helps put your sobriety into perspective. We are all burdened by the same evil in one way or another. Keep your head up avoid your triggers. You are not alone.

Thanks man! 3 days plus now. Untraining myself to not use alcohol to de stress. It doesn’t help and only enables the problem.

I’m certainly not someone to give advice because I’m only 32days without a drop of alcohol…but what’s been working for me is lots of water, cans of flavored seltzer water, pretzel sticks, hard candies, anything to keep my mind off thinking about having a beer.
Anyways it’s been working for me and I was drinking 3-4 30pks of beer a week and a bottle of Fireball for many years. I’LL TELL YOU FROM EXPERIENCE…YOU’LL EVENTUALLY END UP IN THE HOSPITAL DYING FROM PANCREATITIS AND LIVER ISSUES.
