I will have 1 year tomorrow. My suggestion is to find a program of recovery that works for you, commit to it, and follow it through even when you don't want to. I needed face to face support and directions to follow which AA gave me. I had to accept that my way was not working and I needed to listen and learn from people who were successful in recovery. Follow through is key. Just don't drink for today. I have found that to be successful in recovery you have to be an active participant in your recovery. I also decided I would rather be home sober then out drinking with friends. The good things in life usually take some work. Some days are good and some days are bad, but at least I remember them now Nothing changes if nothing changes. My peace and serenity started to come when I started to learn how to live a sober life and be comfortable as a sober person. It took time, months, and I am still learning as new situations arise. Good luck.
