Hi Juji,

Welcome!

One thing I would say is that getting and staying sober is hard and it needs to be a priority in your life. Sometimes that means changing things in your life that are difficult to change. For me, that meant leaving some people behind when I moved on and meeting new people. And, for me, I would not have been able to be around alcohol when I first stopped drinking. It was too stressful. If you're in such a situation, saying 'no thanks' is all that needs to be said.

AA works for many people, but it's not the only way to get sober.
