Welcome to SR Kgpsfran! You'll find a lot of support and understanding here. No need to be ashamed at all, in fact you should be proud of yourself for recognizing your issues with alcohol and wanting to make a change.

How 'bout joining the SR Class of September 2015?

The SR classes are for people starting on their journey at the same time. They've proven essential for many of us in achieving sobriety and living a life in recovery.

I'm discovering that part of recovery is learning to forgive yourself and move beyond shame. You are loved. You are a great person. You deserve the best. You are not alone. I can't speak for anyone else, but I have felt shame too.
