Welcome back. Stick around and don’t isolate - you should take time daily to connect and to open up emotionally with people in addiction recovery. You can do that in addiction groups (like the ones [here](https://talkingsober.com/t/resources-for-our-recovery/52812)), on Talking Sober, or both.
The [checkin thread](https://talkingsober.com/t/checking-in-daily-to-maintain-focus-78/196561/) is helpful, as is the [gratitude thread](https://talkingsober.com/t/daily-gratitude-the-air-of-recovery-9/195910/); and there’s the [meme thread](https://talkingsober.com/t/meme-wars-96-go-no-politics-please/197521/) for laughs, and the [foodies thread](https://talkingsober.com/t/foodies-unite-11-trigger-warning-food-dont-pho-get-that-you-make-miso-happy/194221/) for sharing your fave meals, and many more threads for your interests. Build your sober interests and sober life! Addiction is about isolation - your only relationship is with the addiction. Sobriety and recovery are about connection, about building those healthy connections with other people and with yourself.

I had so many relapses before I was able to get and stay clean I can relate.
What works for me is the 12 steps and going to meetings
Next milestone for me is 7 years clean
Meetings are easy to find and free, checking one out is what I suggest
