New to all this

Hi,
I've never been in a chat room before and am not really sure how it works so I will take all the help I can get. I have 11 days of sober living and tried this any times before. I need some help. Thanks!

Hi and welcome to a place of much support and information.
As for help the #1 thing is to be honest about our drinking to ourselves. #2 is that we don't pick up the first drink no matter what. As we clear up we become aware of and work on the reasons we drank and go about repairing those reasons. Stopping drinking is a separate issue regarding long term sobriety which can be a process of relearning our actions and reactions. Believe that the process is well rewarded.

BE WELL
