Welcome here Jay! Seems to me you’ve made the right decision in becoming clean and sober. Whether we call ourselves addicts, alcoholics, junkies, problem drinkers, substance abusers, whatever, it’s not important. We are humans who have problems with substances (or have problematic addictive behaviours). And we help each other. To me this place has been what made my sobriety stick for almost 600 days now, so my first advice is hang around here. Read, post, comment, support, get support. Learn. Knowledge is power. You already have some good insights into what is going on in your life. Good you are taking action now. And I’m glad you’re here. Together we’re strong. Alone it’s too much. Welcome again and success to you!
PS. here’s a thread with a lot of info. Hope it’s of some use to you. Frequently asked questions about sobriety for newcomers
