hi there. I'm new and I don't exactly know what I'm doing, but some looking around will help :
I've tried to get sober before but I think I've hit bottom. I spent the day shaking and puking, but it's the first time in months I have not had a drink to cure the shakes.
I'm a little nervous but looking forward to joining the community.

Smith - welcome! AA can be a scary thought for us newbies and I bet you probably have some ideas about it that aren't true. I went and was scard outta my mind but that was quickly gone when people saw I was new and pretty freaked out at the reality that I was an alcohoic. I was freaked - 1. about the physcial symptoms of withdrawl and 2. about what to expect from AA.
I am so so new still, I have 30 days coming up but I'm not thrilled about being an alcoholic. But then who is? I just want you to know that the people here and in the AA rooms are all about helping you.

I am 35 days today. I am not going to AA but it's a personal choice. A lot find great success with it so you should give it a try if you are considering it.
I would encourage you to join AA. I have found that with many treatment programs when your money runs out or the insurance stops paying, they refer you on to AA. I just decided to save myself some money and skip ahead to AA. I've never regretted that decision.
