Isolation is what got me going. Just celebrated 4th sober new year. My husband, who also doesn’t drink took me out to hear a band. I was able to enjoy the evening as one of the best times of my life, sober. Whatever you have to do to not drink do it. The rest will come

Welcome!!! Reading sober lit and personal stories of others helped me along, still does. Drink lots of water, and go easy on yourself. You will feel happier and healthier in no time if you stay sober. Power walking while listening to sober podcasts or music helps release all kinds of frustrations and energies. I wish you the very best!!!
