Welcome back It'sMe.

This poster had a really good idea on what to do and how to stay sober

I am newly sober and the tool that helps me the most is reaching out. Getting sober is something that no one can do for us but it is something we can't do alone. Having support is really important for me and also just having people to talk to who know what I am going through and have had similar experiences. I go to AA and call my sponsor every day to be accountable and try to make sober friends. And SR is a great way to reach out and get feedback.
^ this is the real you.

This is your AV

I was so close to getting my 90 day chip but I didn't want to get it. I just cant accept that I will never be able to drink again. And I don't really like going to meetings. I really don't like sharing and talking in meetings. I am more of a one on one sharer. And I felt like I don't really have any close friends in AA
Being sober can be scary - but you're not alone. That why support is so important

my life hasn't really changed or improved much since I stopped drinking.
Mine didn't either - and it won't...unless you proactively work on Change.

Being sober was not enough for me to change my life -but being sober gave me the clarity and the level platform I needed to fix the things I needed to fix

You can do this - don't let that lying AV convince you otherwise
