Hi and welcome NicNac - some great advice here
I was an all day everyday drinker.I was convinced my life would be over once I got sober...but I was wrong
My life began again once I quit. I rediscovered the real me, and I rebuilt my life to better suit the real me.
It wasn't easy in the beginning, but neither was my drinking life.
I persevered, with help from here and other places.
8 years on and life is great.
I hope you'll give it a try
