This is the newcomers forum you're in right now, Minnesota

I agree that reading around will help you get a feel of the place, as well as letting you know of some of the things other people have done to stay sober

What do you see when you hit the 'back' button?

If that doesn't work, start from the beginning. Go to soberrecovery.com. Click on Forums. Click on Newcomers to Recovery.

What do you see now?

Great! Glad you found it. I'm really early in this journey myself, so my only advice is to spend a lot of time on the forum reading and posting. I learn so much every day from people here.

Good morning. I've been reading posts and it gives me hope. I've probably been an alcoholic for 10 years. I've or I should say we have blown through so much money drinking. My husband is an alcoholic too. I feel guilty too. I want to quit and feel good. I haven't felt good in a long time. I feel bad and drink to feel better but IT is the cause of all my grief. A vicious cycle. All of our friends drink. I wish I could move away but I'm 55 and have a great job that I cant leave. Yesterday we met some friends at the bar who are going back to Florida after a visit. I tried to pace myself because my husband and I agreed we couldn't spend so much. I had 2 and water and he kept going. We live in the city and were walking home and he kept wanting to stop at other bars. Came home mad. Hes tried to stop before too. I guess we enable each other. But I need TO STOP.
