Welcome back GhostFace. I truly hope this can be "the time" for you where you finally accept that your alcoholism and move forward.

The bottom line is that you'll get as much out of your sobriety as you put into it. It's great that you have made a list of things you'll do from this point forward, holding yourself accountable to those plans each and every day is key. Don't rule out other support either - as you spend time here on SR you'll learn about self paced recovery methods, and other kinds of face to face support. Keep an open mind and always remember that if you truly want to make sobriety your goal, you will need to do things you don't want to do to achieve it.

Having said all that, I can say from experience that EVERYTHING is better once I got sober. So please cast off the assumption that some things won't be as "fun" or as "good" once you take alcohol out of the equation.
