Hello, I am new and scared

I might sound insane, and perhaps I truly am. But I have NOONE TO TALK TO.

Welcome! SoberRecovery is a great place to find others who have been there, are currently going through it, or people who are in the middle and still fighting. You can ALWAYS find someone on here to talk to and connect with.

Getting sober can be scary and make you feel like you are insane, YOU AREN'T. Always keep fighting and moving forward even if you have to inch forward on your hands and knees, YOU ARE WORTH IT.

The most comforting part of SR is the knowledge that you are NEVER alone here. Welcome to the family!!

Hi Maria,
I think most of us were scared during the initial days of sobriety. Please continue to post. We understand what you're going through, and everyone here is happy to help. Stay strong!
