It helps to have a support network when it gets tough.

Depends how your recovery goes.

Some people quit, kick on, don't miss it, won't need much support.

Some people quit, it's tough for a while, but gets better and they eventually kick on.

Some people quit, are miserable and it doesn't get any better than that. They struggle from day one and stay struggling.

IME ... you'll have to watch how you react to sobriety and adjust the plan to suit.

Slides backwards can also occur for those that kick on early and appear to be doing well.

It's multi faceted really.

You just have to stick around here for a while to see how many "I drank again" threads pop up regularly from folks who thought it was all going sweet.

Don't underestimate this thing.
