Hi, Cigi, Welcome aboard. 
I was scared out of my mind when I arrived. Depressed, lonely, worn out. I think a lot of people arrive that way. I know it can feel really bad, but trust me, you'll look back at this and realize this was a really good day. This is when things start getting better.
Glad you found SR!

Cigi, I can tell you if not for SR I would have had something to drink last night. I was going through the blues and feeling pretty sorry about myself and my situation. I spent hours on the forum and then went to the chat room. Anything to get past the urge. I can tell you the urge passed in a couple of hours and I am doing gray today with 9 days sober.
Hang in there and read something. The books really helping me are Rational Recovery (you can get a lot of the stuff from this book on the Secular Recovery part of the SR forum. I am also reading some memoirs by recovered alcoholics and finished Dry by Augusten Boroughs last night. They are helping me see where my life was going if I did not totally give it up.
