Please have faith in what we are telling you - it takes time, but you will change! Your mind will change! One day at a time! Today I have six months - so Im still new too but am feeling so much clearer and optimistic.
If you can carve out time to volunteer - do it! Helping others is a great way to meet people and build self esteem in the process.
Keep things simple - go for walks, listen to music you enjoy, find a cool series to watch, learn a new thing, listen to funny or inspirational podcasts - you can do this!! Over time as we log the days, take care of our bodies and follow up with our adult responsibilities, a peace begins to grow inside us, a quiet satisfaction in leading a good, solid life.
I think cultivating this kind of peace attracts others, much like when we are actively drinking, we attract other drinkers. I don't think we can have good relationships which make us happy if we are drinking.
