Welcome to the family.
Quitting drinking is just the first step. After you've quit you've got to work on your self, your life, to get yourself to a place, a mindset where you no longer
want to drink. AA can help you in that regard, also counseling can be very helpful to get at the cause of your drinking, which helps to eliminate it.
I don't do AA but I see my addiction counselor once a week and I come here every day, and between the two I've been sober for almost two years - two
happy years.
Another thing I did of great importance to staying happily sober is practicing gratitude every day. I had to force myself at first as I was newly sober and still feeling the emotional fallout from my drinking. AFter a while it became a habit and now I'm grateful for so many things, which shows me all I could lose if I drank again.
There are lots of ways to stay sober - find what works for you and work it as if your life depended on it... because it does!
