I cried hard too when I admitted to my sister, who is my best friend, that I couldn't stop drinking and she cried too. It was like a weight, burden, lifted off me to finally admit that I needed help, that I needed to quit and I didn't know how. Today is Day 6 ... well actually Day 12 with one stumble. You are in the right place ....

Jools, welcome! I've not been here long, and the first morning I posted, I cried all the time I was typing! I hardly dare go back to see what I typed because I'm sure it was a mass of typos through the tears.

This is a great place, and there are so many supportive people here. All I can do is echo what others have said - read, post, maybe check out the ODAT (One day at a time) thread, look in the toolbox. But don't feel weak or pathetic, you're neither - you took a brave step, you came here and you posted. Stick around, there's a whole bunch of newbies here, and lots of good kind people helping us.

Take care

Jools, crying is like the fog coming in... once it settles and wears off you can see better. Tears are part of the healing process, there are your body and soul letting all the sadness, anger out in the world.
Cry as much as you can and as often as you need.
Good luck.

Welcome jools, Clara, and Sunshine
You have been given some great advice already. Just wanted to welcome you and offer my support. The Newbie's Nest thread is also a great place for support. Best wishes.

Hi Jools, I'm in exactly the same boat, and am new too! Not quite got the hang of this blog thing either, but I've found people here friendly, supportive and non judgmental.
