Nearly a Newbie

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to say hi!

I am about to start a home detox on the 3rd August with daily nurse support and I have been drinking daily for many years now, probably about 10.

I am nervous, excited and scared about what happens after I stopped drinking and finding out who the real me is, without alcohol and hoe I will cope with social situations

I lost my mum to alcohol last year, and since them I have blotted out my feelings with alcohol, I thought her death would make me sort myself out but instead I just got worse.

Here's hoping I can make it sober and not end up like my mother did.

I hoping to get some support from here

Thanks

Hi Beck's! You've come to a very supportive environment. Glad you are here! Have you thought of joining the July 2015 group? You'll find a lot if people just like yourself who are just starting out on their sober journey

Welcome to SR, becks1978. Congrats on making a decision to better your life and also good job on getting medical help. Lots of folks here are afraid to take that step. Hope you'll make these forums an active part of your recovery.
