I waited a little longer until I threw mself out there again

I spent that time building up a social life that wasn't dependent on drinking...parks and walks, picnics, museums art galleries, movies, cafes, hobbies, interests...

I called that building up my sober muscles. I had to reach a point where beer wasn't on my mind regularly, and where I felt like I preferred being sober.

You may be ready - I've no idea - but at 4 weeks I wasn't there yet...not by a long way.

When I knew nothing or no one could sway me from my chosen path - I was ready.

Go easy - and draw up a plan for staying sober.
