Congrats on your decision to start a new life, you won’t regret it. This group is filled with many amazing people who share their struggles, success and support.

Hi Hollywood1024, Welcome to TS. You’ve come to the right place. One of the things that works for me is telling myself, Just don’t drink now or just done drink tonight. I can’t look at the whole thing, it’s too overwhelming. Breaking it down into pieces makes it do able. You can this. You’re worth it. Please be kind to yourself.

Welcome! Stick around, you will learn how to navigate pretty quickly. I found being active here really helped. What have you been doing to keep sober?
Hello!
I have just been working and keeping in touch with my BFF back at home! I’m stuck in LA with no car until I get to move back home…. So my hands are kinda tied!
Well, be active here. You can make some pretty cool connections here, plus there is a ton of advice.
