I wake up every morning and make a promise to myself that I'm not going to drink today. Then at bedtime I give thanks for staying sober. As to old drinking friends, I always drank at home alone so I don't have that problem. Just have to keep a sharp memory of how bad my last detox was and how I don't ever want to put myself thru that hell again.
Living sober makes life so much simpler, not easier, but simpler. No hiding, lying ,regrets, and no more waking up sick as a dog.
Welcome to SR! I'm glad you're here!
