Facing any addiction is hard and scary & the first few days of being sober are the worst. but you've reached out for help here, which is a good start. Sobriety is hard, but it is possible. It's the best thing I've ever done for myself.

I go to AA and have found them to be incredibly helpful and supportive.

You might also want to talk to your dr. about exploring a treatment centre. I've done both inpatient rehab and an outpatient day program. I liked the outpatient day program better because it was more medically based and wasn't just a 12 step program.

We also have a recovery chat here Tuesday nights at 10pm EST that you're welcome to join.

Welcome to the club and good luck on your journey.
