I'd like some advice...

Hi All,

I don't really like starting my own threads but I've been a bit worried about the future lately.

I am going to be 3 months sober on Monday and life is ticking over relatively smoothly. It's also my longest of period of sobriety since I was 14 (I'm now 26).

I am currently in the process of applying to university, and if I'm accepted, I will be beginning an undergraduate degree in September. I currently live in a small town, and most of my friends (all but 1, who is a drinker) have moved on to pastures anew, whereas I'm still here.

I have applied to a study in a big city and I'm starting to fear the constant temptation to drink. Moreover, it's not just the city I'm worried about, but entering the whole 'student' lifestyle. I view the opportunity I have to move away and start studying towards my dream profession as a golden one, but it's beginning to be clouded by fear.

I'd appreciate any advice

Thanks
