Sobriety (I think you're using it as synonymous with not drinking) isn't enough.
But sobriety is certainly essential.
I would strongly recommend choosing and following a plan of recovery and not trying to do it on your own.
I certainly had to get help.
Hobbies and exercise are fun and relaxing, but they don't constitute a program of recovery.
Since sobriety is a life and death matter with me, I had to get help.
And it's worked now so far for a pretty good while.
