welcome to the forums! besides here, i utilize AA to help keep me sober. i'm learning to call someone before my bad idea turns into a drink or using. it's hard but the AA community really is wonderful here. i've made a ton of friend, found an amazing sponsor and have started doing my step work. you may want to go check out an open meeting or a first step meeting. it's scary at first but the people in there don't bite or anything. they've got something going on there and i'm happy to finally be a part of it. make sure you show up a little early and stay late. meetings are good but a lot of recovery happens before and after the meetings. let them know you're new and you'll have people talking to you and giving you numbers most likely. get in there and be a part of the sober community, both in here and out in the real world!
