Dear yjohnson and DaisyBlueNew...
Welcome to SR, you have found a great super resourse group! And welcome to our world
F2F meetings, like Phoenix has suggested are great tools, please take advantage of them...don't fear the meetings...just go, we have been in your shoes and the support, education and hope will be there.
You took a brave first step by recognizing and wanting to correct and address the drinking issues.
You are passionate about a life of sobriety and having a recovery plan, these are sweet words to this members ears.
Take care and know that we are here and that we care.
Great big warm hugs!
TF
