Welcome 
90 days are a crucial period, yes. Stick around this forum and you will find others who've turned their lives around and have been where you are now. Do you have a plan in place for when urges hit? Has anyone mentioned PAWS and the things to look for during early sobriety? Above all, do whatever it takes not to pick up a drink and you are well on your way

Glad you're here and alive. I send you my thoughts.
I know a little what it's like. I was committing suicide on the installment plan with booze.
I drank to kill the pain and didn't care if I lived or died. I actually hoped for death, but was too chicken to shoot myself so I drank and drank.
Then, I had a moment of clarity. There was a life out there for me. I never realized that.
The God made Sun came up one morning and it was beautiful. I wasn't drunk. I .had a moment of clarity. There is hope. There is life. I wanted it. Bad enough to begin my journey to sobriety.
I still sometimes think of suicide, but I'm mentally ill, so it's not that unusual.
The thoughts pass and I realize the small things in life I would miss. A Butterfly. The rain.
I'm so glad you're with us. You're not alone.
Best to you.
