First time reaching out for help

I am a little nervous. This is my first time reaching out for help for my alcohol addiction. I am not sure what to expect or if anyone will respond.

Takes courage to reach out for help, and you've done that.

You can get sober, one day at a time.

It won't be easy, but it will be worth it.
