Welcome Chrissy!
I to am from the big city and can so relate to your day one. As everyone says "there's tons of support here". The days get better as each passes by and the initial couple days are the most difficult. I spent my first couple days glued to this board interacting with all the fine folks here. This place kept me going and has kept me sober.
Keep reading and posting Chrissy. As Sampar mentioned, feel free to jump into the chat room. I understand this difficult time you're having and it will get better. You will be amazed at how wonderful life is without alcohol.
