new to site, and struggling

Hi,
I have spent a discouraging day job-hunting unsuccessfully. I am uncertain about my financial future, and that of my most important relationship. I am SCARED. All I want is a normal life, but I need to face the consequences of alcoholism, (right now they're pretty formidable). Anyway, thanks for being here; it is good to have this place to go to.

Welcome to the forums Elanor,

I found that once I started addressing my addiction problem all of my other worries gradually got sorted out.

welcome...SR is one of the best places to vent your frustrations and help sort things out. there is always someone who answers your posts and keeps you company.

sometimes that is the best way to relax without a drink too.

I know how tough the job market can be right now, good luck with the search.

Hello Elanor! I joined yesterday. Everyone here seems pretty chill and relaxed. I joined because I'm scared, and to be honest quite lonely. It seems that people around me in my day to day life just don't understand how hard it is just to "quit". I find the more I read the posts on here, the more I relate, and feel some what at home. I don't feel like I'm being judged, and I certainly am not judging others. It's like I could have written some of these posts myself! I look forward to getting to know you and good luck with finding a job and sobering up!
