Hi Photochick
Welcome to SR...you'll find a lot of support here.
You may want to start a thread in the Newcomers forum? You'll get a lot more 'traffic' and advice that way...
Newcomers to Recovery - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information
We also have a 24/7 chat room if you need someone to talk to...there's almost always some ppl there
hope to see you again soon
