Just want to start somewhere

Hi

I just want to start somewhere! Day 2 sober, probably 4 or 5th attempt some attempts went days some went months. Feeling positive have understood the need for alternative coping strategies.

Hoping for some support and to be able to give support back.

Thanks x

Welcome to the forum.
There is plenty of support here. A lot of us use this as our primary support system so you have come to the right place.
Everyone is supportive and non judgemental.
Congrats on your decision to get sober.

Welcome! I'm new to this site (and recovery as well) and I have found this quite helpful. It helps me when I start to talk myself into drinking that first beer, which is the one that gets me in trouble!

Welcome Iriss to SR, lots of good folk here.

Other than my wife, this is my only support system as well. It really helps; full of helpful, caring, and understanding people that are all going thru this thing together.

Again, welcome.

God bless.
