Unhappy Newbie**

I am not quite sure what i'm doing or even
looking for,all i know is that i am dealing with what i want to be my
last hangover ever. This week has been particularly bad day drank both
on Tuesday AND Yesterday and last night i was in blackout mode. I'm
tired of waking up feeling guilty and insecure of whether i made
an"ass" of myself,texting people and apologizing,etc.. I'm tired of my
hubby being made at me and for feeling hungover and not being able to
play with my kids as i would like due to being couch bound due to
feeling like hell. I don't drink everyday,maybe 2 or 3 times a
week,sometimes once,sometimes none. But regardless,when i do drink,i
don't stop and thats a problem. I'm ready to face this head on and am
in need of support. I'm worried about and kind of expecting to
lose"friends" but am hoping to gain new ones who has my best interests
at heart. I hope i came to the right place. Im 30,scared,and ready.

Welcome to SR cake! You made the first step in your road to sobriety by coming here. As far as losing friends are concerned, true friends want what is best for you and if they don't like that you've stopped drinking, then you have your answer.

You're not alone in this! We're all here for you!

Welcome Cake,
The journey starts with the desire for change and recognizing the need... There are so many wise and caring people here. I received so much guidance and support . You will find understanding and acceptance. You will read familiar stories. Most of all, you are not alone. May your strength and fortitude prevail. Welcome new friend.

Welcome Cake,
I think we can all relate to how you are feeling, the good news is that you never have to feel like that again and you can get your life under control.
I didn't think I could ever cope with life without a drink, now nearly 3 years on the last thing I want in my life is alcohol.
Recovery is very possible and an alcohol free life is way better.
I come to SR every day usually first thing in the morning to set me mentally for the day ahead.
