Gail....i'm guessing you've found the AA type forums here on soberrecovery? If you really want to get sober and stay that way then your best start would be to dive into those forums and write and read (especially during urges). It's not quite the same as a face-to-face meeting, but online support is real and real in benefits also. You can also google AA on the web...i'm sure there is an official website out there. Anywhere actually.

Another great start would be to order one of the "Big Books" from the AA website and read it....actually R-E-A-D it.

No one can get you sober and keep you that way, but yourself. No one can do it for you -- which is why it's so flipp'n hard to do. But, with support and determiniation you can do anything you set our mind to. It doesn't have to happen over night, but pushing toward progress, not perfection.

(((hugs)))
