Welcome to the Forum!!

For me support was and still is very important, the problem I found was my mindset remained the same, I wanted to drink, so the way forward is to somehow short circuit those thought process with a lot of support, you'll find loads of support here on SR, also people use meetings, community groups or other methods, there's plenty of options to choose from!!

However simply eliminating alcohol from my routine and continuing on for me wasn't enough, it just created a lot of free time, I needed to develop new routines, new habits, a new Sober lifestyle.

It's not easy in the beginning, but if you push through it gets easier with time!!
