Hello, I reckon.

Just stopped in here. Looking around a little bit. Might check out the chat here shortly.

Not real sure what to say. Like most people on here I'd assume, I have an alcohol problem. Stopped last night, wasn't really paying too much attention to the time but I know it was early. 8 or 9 pm.

Woke up and have been going through good ole withdrawal since about 3am I'd guess. Fun times. I can say it's not the worst I've ever gone through, but still not very fun. I'm up off of the floor and in a chair and typing though... so that's a start.

That's a good start. Welcome to SR billdolfski. No one is ever really sure what to say. Just read a lot and ask for help. There is a lot of wisdom on this forum. Glad you're here.

9/16/2016 is an awesome sobriety date!

assuming you havent drank/ drug anything today

for me staying clean/ sober has required a plan

meetings
sponsor
steps
service
higher power

God bless and welcome

I kind of feel like I have to help myself. I'm not really sure why I'm here. Curiosity? A little support?

Welcome, billdolfski!

Helping myself first involved getting help from people who were already sober, because I sure didn't know how to do it.

Recovery/sobriety is much more than just not drinking.

I'm only concerned about the drinking.
