Do not worry. I have autism and alcoholism. It has been tough, but very rewarding first year of soberity.
The key thing is to get an excellent support group and a good sponsor. My friends still drink and use ocassionally, but they have provided a huge amount of support in my first year. They are not addicts like me.
Try to find friends that are nonjudgmental and who are positve. People who you want to embrace your recovery in joy and happiness.
