Hi, this is my first thread here. I drank daily, roughly 12 drinks per day for 3 years, which was me at my worst.
I quit cold turkey, i had withdrawals but i also checked myself into outpatient rehab and successfully completed that.
I just reached 45 days sober and drank yesterday. I dont even know what came upon me to make me do it.
Im starting at day 0 again. Any advice to stay sober?

Welcome! There’s so much advice here. Take a few hours to read through the threads that interest you. We’re all in the same boat more or less, so I think you’ll find the stories very relatable.
Good luck. Hope to see you around.

Welcome James
This is a great sober community. Being active on here keeps me sober.
Have a good read around and join in when you’re comfortable.
Sobriety and recovery is a process of walking away from the old days of drinking/using that don’t work anymore. It’s embracing uncomfortable change for the better and deciding to not stay where you were. It’s learning to love yourself enough to say “I can’t live like this anymore and I need help”.
Please add here the advice that you would like to gives to others. What tips and tricks has worked for your sobriety? What can someone newly sober expect on this journey?

Don’t hate yourself. you made it to 45 days without drinking! That’s huge! Have you tried attending an AA meeting? They really help me, plus it keeps me from being bored at home. Boredom is my top reason for drinking.
