Hey Emma ,welcome to TS, I am so happy you found us. This forum has been a huge part in helping me stay clean, so I hope you find it helps you too. All that shame and guilt is so painful but with time it starts to subside. You deserve to live a life free from the chains of addiction. Read as much as you can here there are so many inspiring stories. Some of us use a checking thread to help with accountability. I will link it for you, hope to see you there. ❤ [Checking in daily to maintain focus #29](https://talkingsober.com/t/checking-in-daily-to-maintain-focus-29/115420) --- _[View the full topic](https://talkingsober.com/t/resetting-my-start-date/117761)._
