Welcome Lori - so much support and wisdom on this site.

Do you have a plan to stop drinking?

Post a lot if you'd like. Read a lot. Educate yourself. You can not over-obsess about sobriety in the first few days - at least, that's what I believe.

Make it a priority. Today is a great day to not drink. So is tomorrow. Do that for a few days and things will start moving a good direction....build some small wins.

You'll find tons of support here. You aren't alone.
