Congratulations on a month!


I can't add too much more to what others have said, but I do recommend AA. You will meet sober people and learn ways to be truly happy without drinking. I've actually been to your town, and I know it's small. I live in a small town too, and at first iw as worried about running into people I know, especially clients from my job. So for several months I went to a town 30 miles away. Then I just started going to my local meetings, ran into some clients even, no big deal. Everyone's there for the same reason.

Maybe you could go to a meeting in another town, just to check things out? I know there's not a lot of towns up there, but I'll bet Caribou has meetings, and you may not be as likely to run into someone you know.

There are lots of other recovery programs as well, but face to face meetings are nice, and AA is probably the most common one.

Dont give up! Giving up drinking is not easy. A month is a great accomplishment!
