Hi and welcome!

Admitting the problem is the first and most important step. Glad you're on your way.

I think for me, the hardest part about the first days were the cravings, feeling bored, and the emotional roller coaster that started. People react differently, but those are all pretty common reactions.

My mind could come up with all sorts of reasons why I could really have just one, how maybe I wasn't really that bad, how maybe I could control it and moderate if I really tried. All lies. It helped me a lot to talk to other people about how I was feeling so I wouldn't fall prey to my own mind.

Just get through one day at a time at the beginning. Don't worry about too much except staying sober. Come here and talk all you want.

Wishing you well!
