New to this: hello

Hi everyone, I’m new to this app,

I’ve never been to rehab or done a program, I’m not sure where to start but I think I am an alcoholic or at least have a drinking problem. Every time I want to have a drink I don seem to want to stop it got really bad before I had my daughter. I even crashed my car. That was 2 years ago. But lately I’ve been finding myself getting lost in the alcohol again. Not sure if it’s from trauma or maybe I do have a problem.

Would love your insight🙏🏽

Welcome to the group. If you are trying to figure out if you have a drinking problem more then likely you do. Everyones story/journey is different but the first thing you need to do is admit you have no control over your drinking. Being honest with yourself is a hard thing to do but it can change your life. Stay on this app for support and find an AA meeting to attend. Best of luck doing your soul searching.
