Hi Amanda, what great news to hear you're already sick of your recent last drink. Yeah, it never gets any better out there no matter how much time or experience has passed - a hundred years since my last drink would still be to soon to drink again.
Sorry its still a struggle for you just now - it will of course get better as you discover what took you back out. Lot's of helpful people to help you figure it all out - no worries. YOU CAN stay sober! Those 8 years still have awesome power of experience in your life today!
