I think it's so important to remember that stopping drinking doesn't solve all the problems. I wish that it had, but it sure didn't for me. I had to move out of my comfort zone and it wasn't easy. But, you can do this.

Yes, we all need to not drink, but that's when the hard 'inside' work begins. I think if you believe that things will automatically change, they won't. I needed to take action in the first weeks of my recovery, and that made all the difference. For me, I started to do volunteer work that week and it literally changed my life.

Congratulations on your sobriety!
