Welcome! Glad you are here. What I have learned from my own experience is that I couldn't get/stay sober on my own. I needed help from others. Working through the steps (if that is what you are planning to do) I would recommend to work through them with another person in recovery. Our minds are so warped and foggy still when we first get sober--alot of times we cannot trust in ourselves, or our own thinking. I should say that I could not trust myself to help myself. I always got myself drunk or high when left to my own devices. If you think this person in the group can help you, why not ask him for his help? What have you got to lose? Being open and willing to receive help is a good start in the right direction. Glad you are here. Keep posting. We do recover.
