Hi lost - glad you're here! It takes courage to make that first post, much less walk into a group of people and admit you need help. Once you have a little sobriety under your belt, however, that feeling of shame/embarrassment turns to confidence and feeling good about what you're doing.

It took me several weeks to begin to feel the ground was solid again under my feet, so since you're right at the starting gate, don't worry about AA today or tomorrow if it's too overwhelming. Just take a pledge not to drink for today and treat it as THE most important job you have for the next 24 hours. Stay focused in the moment and let the rest come in time.

I'm proud of you for getting help. Hope you'll keep posting and reading!
