Wel,l this is an excellent start! Welcome. I try not to think of the big picture. Just one day at a time. It’s an old cliche but it works for me. I’m not drinking today. Tomorrow and yesterday don’t matter. Great bunch of folks here all in this trip together. Stick around, read and see what you like.

Welcome @Chelseamay! Happy for you to want to make the change and get sober! It changed every little thing in my life for the better and I’m sure your life will improve greatly too! Stay on this app, read around lots and lots and reach out often! A real life sponsor you’ll find in AA, another very including, welcoming place from my experience.
See you around!

Welcome to the forum and well done on making the decision to get sober. It’s completely normal to not know where to start.
Below is a link to a thread that has a list of resources that people have found useful in their recovery. Give it a look and see if anything sounds like something you’d like to try.

don’t be afraid. I’m new here, too, 18 days, and I can tell you I wouldn’t have made it a week without this app. I did what @anon28001181 suggested and it’s very helpful. See you around!
