Welcome Sarra. Try not to be down on yourself - guilt and shame are destructive emotions. The main thing is, you see the problem and know you want to get well. Many people never reach that point. Everything else will fall into place as you get the poison out of your system and grow stronger. Don't be overwhelmed with details right now.

I drank almost all of my adult life, and it was so hard to finally admit it was no longer fun or relaxing. All I was doing was making myself numb - not enjoying life - putting myself in danger & doing stupid things. My personality was so different when I drank - in the end, I just stumbled through my days not participating in life - just phoning it in. You deserve better than that. Congratulations for realizing it, and for reaching out for help.
