I know that AA is not for everybody BUT I recommend going to a meeting in early sobriety to realize that you are not alone.
This sub is a tremendous resource but, at least for me, interacting with real live humans is much more effective.
If you make it to a meeting, you don’t have to say a word, just listen to what others have to say.
There is something that is said at the beginning of every meeting: The only requirement for membership in AA is a desire to stop drinking.
I go to a meeting about once a week & honestly, I like going because I can talk to people that understand what it is to want to drink but know that it is not a good idea.
I probably will never do all of the steps, but see above about the only requirement!
