Welcome stewkid to SR,

SR is a great place to get support and ideas to help you stay sober. Sorry I won't be donating to your go fund me, I don't think money will help you stay sober. Good luck.

Welcome and congratulations on your week clean! I was in a treatment program once and the director said "No lottery tickets, the last thing an alcoholic needs is to hit the lottery ". I understand that a lot more now. Best wishes for you on your journey.

Congrats on 1 week.
Bars are everywhere. Try to find a sober house to live in with people who understand you.
$ is the last thing an alcoholic or addict needs...sets us up for failure.
You can do this!
