Starsponymomma's right. You do not need to do it alone. AA can be a great support network. They're always very welcoming of newcomers. AA has helped me a lot, although I also needed a treatment centre to stop drinking - that might be another option for you.

There's also a really good website smartrecovery.org that's not 12 step based, that has resources to help you stop drinking and forums for support in stopping drinking.

You can also post here as much as you need to and we have a recovery chat that for now is every Tuesday at 10 Pm Eastern time, that you're welcome to drop in on.

The first step is admitting that you have a problem and asking for help. Getting sober is really hard, but so worth doing.

Good luck.
