Plz help
I have been sober on my own for 8 months , last year . I tried my best to remain sober for lifetime but due to some professional issues i started having thoughts that drinking will help me get better of my problems. I tried hard but lost to this craziness . And i had a relapse during January this year and that relapse has now developed into a full grown drinking habit .
I am a bachelor and live with my college friends who engage into drinking at least 3 -4 times a week . I really want to stop drinking but am not able to understand how to do that without joining AA like organizations. I motivate myself everyday by looking at recovery forums , stories and all , but as soon as i come back from my office in the evening , i start feeling bored and then decide to drink . please advice me on what shd i do now ?
