I should edit my above post to read that our recovery chat here is at 10:00 pm EST.

As a starting point if you are looking for IRL low cost, or free, options you might check out the salvation army. I know they run treatment programs. You might also want to ask at local hospitals. I was in a publically funded treatment program, which wasn't billed back to OHIP, our provincial Insurance Program, but was funded by the hospital's operating funds.

You might also want to consider calling a distress line as they might be able to direct you to resources in your area.

And if you can afford a Dr.'s visit, seeing a gp might be a good starting point, again for referals. There's no need to be embarrased. Lots of people have drinking problems. The main thing is that you want to change your behaviour and get help.

Good luck.
