Hey so im new to here, I feel i dont have a mass of support but i felt if i joined like minded folks it’d be easier to stay motivated. 
so im nearly a week sober, i know thats not a long time but after a couple instances of me starting fights whilst drunk i felt it wasn’t helping especially with my declining mental health (which im also trying to improve currently with therapy) im nervous to see how i do but excited to do well and improve myself.

Welcome. 1 week is amazing. Good luck on the mental health repair journey. You will find so many folk here who totally understands the mind struggles you face including me. Getting sober I find is a total transformation for mind body and soul. Reach out for help always.

Welcome Hannah! And huge congrats on your sober time! My own experience is that I absolutely needed to be sober for therapy to have an impact on my mental health. And through sober therapy it became so much easier to remain my sobriety. It works both ways. Happy for you for choosing this was and also happy you joined us. Together we’re strong. Welcome again and wishing you all success in your sober journey Hannah.
