I just spilled my heart out and I need help please someone respond. I don't drink, I don't smoke or anything. this alcohol stuff is new to me and I'm not liking it.
Hi, you might want to try the online chat. There is usually someone there. I don't go there too often myself, but as I remember it it is pretty easy to get going, just follow the instructions. When you get on, let people know that you are new to the program, and someone will help you out. You could even say it a couple of times, so that they will notice, sometimes it gets pretty playful in there. That in itself is a good sign - when I first started in the program I never thought I would feel playful again.
We have all been through something like what you have - everyone here loves (and sometimes hates) an alcoholic.
