Question New

Hello, this is not my first time trying to be sober. But this is the time when i really accepted the fact that i need help and that i do have a problem. Currently i am in a structured envirornment but as of this coming weekend i will be out and on my way to my life. I have ended contact with my "friends" (drinking buddies) because i know i must change this. Right now i am scared of not having the support of the walls im in now. I live out in the country far away from meetings and groups, but i have found a few close. I am scared of failing, scared of messing up, scared of stress, and scared of being on my own now. Any ideas or input?

Welcome to SR Totalchange

I am sure you will find lots of support here. It's okay to be scared and sometimes it's useful. I have a massive fear of drinking again because it took me so much effort to quit and I am sure that has helped me stay sober. Join the class of December on this forum too if you haven't already. I found the ongoing support and accountability really helpful.

Glad you're here x

Welcome,

It's pretty normal to be afraid in early recovery. We're changing the way we've been doing things and we're opening up ourselves to our emotions and it's scary. I think support is important and you can always find support here at SR.
