Hi HAH
I found the best thing for me to do was focus on not drinking...that was enough for me initially....there's more than enough time later to rake through the past and all of that stuff
I started my making a commitment to myself everyday to stay sober no matter what that took. If you think you need support, please look for it - if you're like me, you'll come to appreciate anything that can make this journey easier.
You'll find a lot of support here too - and you nailed the thread thing
Welcome!
