A lot of folks look for a reason or crutch to prop them up and keep them sober. I cant remain sober without AA I cant remain sober without my wife I need rehab I need a pill of sorts if only my life wasnt so hard perhaps if i had a better job etc..

At the end of the day what you need to remain sober comes from within you And if you want to remain sober you wont need to be propped up by anyone or anything but yourself. You look at things and go well if not for that situation I'd be sober. Generally speaking people sober up and the conditions are less then ideal. But its part of the journey to sobriety to accpet things for not being perfect but learning how to work with them and gain sobriety.

Congrats on leaving the bar thats a good choice!
