Welcome to the community Lyzzie and welcome to day 1 of sobriety!
SO true - we can not do this alone. We need help with our sobriety and we need loads of support along the way!
few things to help …
- stay active here. great group of people here with similar struggles. you will not feel alone here. Take time to read around the threads and jump in when you feel comfortable
- try meeting(s) (in person and on line) – try multiple ones till you find one(s) that click.
- work the steps (this helps with making amends and working on yourself)
- therapy may help
- changing up your daily routines so that you avoid triggers and urges
- keeping yourself busy (hobbies and activities)
I find the daily check in thread to be most useful in trying to stay accountable – Checking in daily to maintain focus #58
Wishing you luck and hoping to see you around.
