Hi raindownonme

Welcome!

I'm sorry for your lack of support - but it's not a dealbreaker - many members here have little or no support from loved ones...that's why SR is so important - you'll always find support here. Noone who ever has success ever really goes it alone IMO

As for how to do it...there's a million ways up the mountain - I think the common factor tho is really wanting to quit - no matter if it's in your face, no matter how easy it is to get, you have to want to NOT have it.

How do you get there?

I think reading here helps - dealing with other people with lives in crisis needing help reminds me of why I can drink anymore.

I also think face to face support is important for many people as well, but
ultimately it's up to you - I've used SR for my recovery and it's worked fine for me, but I think you owe it to yourself to look into every avenue you can - even the ones that seem weird - they may not be so weird once you've tried them....

here's a list of some of the main recovery programmes to start looking at anyway

Hope to see you around some more
