Hi and welcoem Tiredofthepain
You know they say the journey of a thousand miles starts with a song;le step? I think recovery is a lot like that.
We make a different choice one day not to drink away our stress, boredom, fear, anger whatever...
we make a Day One..and we find that the reality is not as bad as we imagined it to be and that those feelings do pass on their own.
Each day we stay sober we find out a little more about how strong and capable we really are - with the everpresent support of communities like this
I have faith you'll find this out about yourself too Tiredofthepain
