day one

I'm an alcoholic and I need to get help to recover. I'm hungover - again and hate everything about what I'm doing to myself. I started drinking at 9am (I'm self employed and work from home).....not sure what time I quit last night. I wake up in the middle of the night and loath myself. I'm hoping this forum will help me recover

Hi Worried. Wow, I could have written your post! I feel the same self-loathing and despair. Some people on here have been extremely helpful to me. I hope you find this board helpful too.

At any rate, welcome.

I work from home, too...and have found with sobriety that work and home are both better places. Welcome to SR.

The good news is that it's possible to live a sober life. You have to put forth a little effort and make changes, but a sober life is within your reach.

Thank you everyone. I called AA today and spoke with a member. It was a scary step - but I did it

Welcome. keep an open mind and utilize what may be helpful to you. It helps me to know I am not the only one struggling. take care. real new myself again. helps to read here I find, online AA meetings Ive found and been listening to are helpful. Just listening to positive stuff others have to say and how I see they are seeming to stay sober and some actually enjoy it. Good luck

Welcome worried. You can kick that stuff out of your life and have a brand new beginning. It feels wonderful to be free. You can do it.
