No offense HC, but you've asked this same exact question at least a dozen times. Do you ever read any of the responses you get on your threads? It might be helpful to go back and review some of them as there is loads of good advice there. You'll likely get more of the same here on this thread too.

If you want to know how I stayed sober, a very large part of it was by doing exactly what I suggested above - by listening to people here and in other support communities. But that is only the start...the bulk of the work had to be done by me. I read and posted here a lot, I went to recovery meetings, i read books, I went to therapy too. And then I did those things again. And then I did them some more.

But bottom line, I stopped buying and consuming alcohol first. And then I accepted that it was never going to be OK for me to take another sip of alcohol, ever.
