Hi OldGal! Welcome to SR!
This forum is really helping me as I begin my road to recovery. I also found it by Googling something similar. Have a good old browse around - there's so much information and incredible support from all sorts of people who all have the same goal. We're all on the same side! I'm only on Day 5 but not only do I feel healthier, I feel more confident about the future and what I can achieve sober - I'm really excited about it!
Keep coming back as often as you can!
I say pop too as it happens and I'm from the north of England!
Good Luck!
