New here and in the struggle

I was sober for 12 days, but relapsed. Having another go at it and I’m 3 days sober, but struggling. I miss my pals at the bar.

Keep going man. Keep the goals in mind. True strength is shown for one’s own strength over themselves!

Thank you!

Welcome!! Congrats on 3 days! Protect your sobriety like it’s a newborn fragile infant. You deserve way more from life than drunken days with “pals” at a bar.

To @Ray_M_C_Laren’s point, are you willing to change what you do, who you see, where you go, how you think, to get sober?

You’re not alone in this. Stay strong brother

I thought I did too…after months of sobriety, it dawned on me that without alcohol, they weren’t really friends…just people to pass drunken times with. The friends I have made sober, are far more special to me.

Still drying out.

Does this mean you are having troubling stopping completely, that you feel compelled to drink even when you don’t want to?
