Yes. Just stopping drinking wasn't sustainable for me, as it was too horrible. I needed to get a plan together and do some work on myself . Recovery work. Sobriety plan. Call it what you will. I wasn't ready to just deal with life and 'being me' without my security blanket of booze. I needed help to gain a different perspective and find different ways of dealing with the general up and downs, excitements and and dissapointments dealt to us in day to day existence. Thankfully there's plenty of help out there. I was another one who used AA.
I hope you feel strong enough to make a plan soon, and see if by adding things into it you can maintain sobriety and find a way to make it bearable, sustainable and some day preferable to drinking. BB
