Hi Sinderos
Some similarities between us here.
I also moved to a new town for work purposes and because of loneliness , I suppose, it accelerated the drinking.
I'm 2+ months sober and it has at times been overwhelming , I still have no idea of the person I will become but I do know one thing, I don't like the person I was when I was drinking! anything has to be better than that person.
I still don't know too many people here, I live alone and my work is home based, so loneliness can be a major issue for me but I have a good routine in place now and I make sure I get out everyday even if it's just to walk or go to the store. It all helps, I just take baby steps each day and I do have really good days now, as opposed to the really black days that drinking created.
Most of my friends were sadly of the heavy drinking type so I don't really see them anymore but I do have a few light drinking replacements who don't see me not drinking as a problem.
My new life is still strange to me but I am slowly building up to a better one.
