Hi TREEENT
Welcome. I don't 'do' AA but I've done my fair share of coping with life without booze and drugs.
It can be hard - real hard - and frightening at first - after all we spent years trying our best not to have to feel like this...
But always remember you're not alone - reach out and ask for help when you need it...and, as they say in the rooms, always remember there's nothing a drink can't make worse
As you deal with more and more stuff sober, it gets easier and easier not to think of drinking as the first option response....and you may actually solve a few problems instead of just avoiding them
Good to have you aboard
