Seasick, you can find a lot of encouragement and support here. Even on the threads that are on the Newcomers to Recovery forum, there are a fair number of posts, thoughts that do not just parrot homilies. I have been helped a lot with my sobriety of a couple of months by reading posts on SR. I am hoping you know a bit of what to expect in the first weeks as I did not and kind of got side swiped. Best wishes.
