Welcome to the show! Hope is a wonderful feeling that helped motivate me to action. You’ve gotten several good suggestions already. Avoiding alcohol and triggers to our wanting to use it is important, and so is increasing our ability to tolerate discomfort. What I have found for myself and seen in others is that further action to grow sobriety is even more important over the long term.
When I finally got sober after years of “trying”, I was complying with court-ordered daily breath tests and I was taking Antabuse. Both good ways to avoid alcohol. I also needed individual counseling and AA, eventually adding an outpatient rehab program as well. I threw everything I had into getting sober, letting nothing get in the way (particularly the thoughts in my messed up head). I was a hopeless alcoholic, very nearly washed up, but found the way I needed to take to sobriety. For the past few years, daily participation in Talking Sober had been a huge component.
