Welcome and congratulations with your insight, it’s a good start. The concept of being sober is not picking up the FIRST drink, which some have difficulty with. The next important thing for me was being honest with MYSELF. I found AA my lifeline even if “I’m not that bad” YET. These forums help also. Probably my biggest help was the expression ”KEEP COMING” which I often repeat. I needed to remember that it works if WE work it. BE WELL
