Hi Mary,
My name is Mary, too!! I am so glad that you found us. I know that your days must be pretty busy but do you think you could carve out an hour to attend an AA meeting. Ideally a women's meeting in your area. If you don't know how to find a meeting, please PM me and I will help. You can get numbers of women to help you when you feel like drinking. AA is a "WE" program and you do not have to do this on your own.
In the meantime, we are here to support and encourage you in your sobriety. The main thing right now is DO NOT DRINK.....for any reason. If you are having difficulty with withdrawal symptoms, please seek medical attention for detox.
Please continue to come here and share. We have a fantastic group of people here.
