Welcome! It’s good to have you! You’ll always get support here.
Thanks a lot
Thanks a lot. Just got some shitty news this morning. My wife and her dad were supposed to be coming home today from visiting family, but they’re staying another couple nights. First thing I thought was I should go grab a bottle and just relax and drink with nothing to worry about.
Sorry to hear you’ve had some bad news, glad you are here and posting instead of pouring a drink!

Thanks. Withdrawals are starting to kick in pretty good. Waiting for a call from my doctor to hopefully get something to help with them for the next couple days

Oh yes I’ve gone to AA, CA, NA and MA. I actually really enjoyed it and found that I got the most recovery time when attending meetings consistently and doing the steps. I find recovery can be very lonely. And having the support of this forum and from meetings really helped. I dont attend meetings anymore since I’ve moved provinces. But I’m thinking about going back. I currently attend NA and AA meetings online through “In The Rooms”

I’ve been thinking about going back. They kind of worked for me. They had a little too much emphasis on god for my taste. But I think this forum will definitely help for now

Ya the God/Higher Power concept is definitely present in 12 step meetings. Took me quite awhile to develop my own idea of a Higher Power but once I did the meetings made abit more sense. This app is so helpful tho. I like not feeling so alone in recovery which the app had helped with.

Welcome, the community here has helped me immensely since I started my sobriety.
I’m sorry to hear you’ll have to tough out the first few nights alone, I know the feeling and agree that having my wife around makes it easier not to drink. Stay strong!

Hey @DevLock,
I’m new here too. Couldn’t miss the logo on your profile… I’m sure looking forward to seeing our boys hit the ice and looking forward to making history with the cup! If we can keep Jake outta the night clubs!!! 
Best of luck in your sobriety. I’m 31 days in and loving it. Hard work tho. This group will be key for me.
