Hi Saphie,
I had to find a spiritual connection before I could really begin to recover.
For me, it meant that I had to reconnect with my soul, with my true being. I believe that I am a spiritual being in a human body and I have a purpose in this life.
I believe that drinking is a symptom, so stopping drinking is the first step. Then, the work begins to recognize and deal with the underlying issues.
Congrats on your sobriety!
