That should be easy. Family!!
But as we know addiction can drive us to be someone we are not. Making choices we wouldnt normally make
So how do we get out of our addictions and into the real world again??
For me, I had to force myself into the real world. Sober or not, I obligated myself to spend time with family and friends, to exercise, to develop my relationship with God. And I had to hold myself accountable to others for doing these things. It made choosing sobriety much easier.

Honesty (with ourselves and others). Acceptance (of our disease). Ownership (of what we’ve done and what we choose to do now). Accountability (we choose how much effort is put into our sobriety and recovery) Willingness (to do anything that will get and keep us healthy even when we don’t feel like it)

Getting educated about all things alcohol, addiction, recovery and healthy relationships has been my saving grace!
