one day at a time
Hello,
I am new and have been sober only for a little while, only thing I can tell you is what is working for me.
I go to AA meetings, I try to go to 4 to 5 meetings in a week. I am married and have kids so time is of premium. So, either I go to noon meeting that I can make it at lunch time or 8.30pm meetings.
Also, don't think about quitting for a long time, just think that I am not going to drink today. When you see other people drinking, say thank I don't have to drink anymore.
Go to gym and do a bunch of cardio (have you heared of runners high?), it will give you a good buzz and no depression or hangover.
Good luck.
Jay
