Newbie. But not at drinking.

Hi all,

This is my first ever post. I have joined up to find support as my drinking is so bad I'm feeling very depressed and feel like there is no light left In my life. Sorry for the sad post, I'm just feeling very tired and just want to live a sober life.

You're in the right place.

I'm glad you posted. I know I was exhausted in every way at the end of my drinking days.

Hi Josharon,

I got your message, but it won't let me reply until I have posted 5 times. Are you able to point me in the right direction for the November thread? Thank you so much.

My favorite saying I've heard here so far; "Don't think of it as forever, think of it as a lot of days, one day at a time"

You can dooooo it!!!
