CaiHong - making my sobriety my number one priority really helped me get through the first 6 months. Lots of sugar as well! I had to move out of my beautiful house that I shared with my partner of 6 years because I needed to focus solely on myself and I couldn't do that around him. So at 30 years old I live with my parents. Big change but has helped so much. Also IOP helped a lot and reading drinking memoirs; I don't feel so alone in this disease or that I am the worst person ever. Good luck to you all and thanks a bunch for all the kind words!!
