I know I am ready to get sober, but everyone around me drinks all the time. How do I do it?

Be around different people. Start going to meetings. If the current drinkers around love you, them not drinking around you will be a non-issue. Loving yourself means putting yourself first and not picking up the first drink or substituting drinking with anything else other that mindfulness/ awareness. YOU NEVER HAVE TO DRINK AGAIN, EVEN IF YOU WANT TO 🥹

Make real new friends. Get plugged into a recovery program. Fellowshipping will surround you with new real friends.

The easiest part of getting sober is to hang around sober people, and not around drinking people. The hardest part is disconnecting from your old crowd. Do it, if you want to live.

The whole country drinks all the time. Hang around drunk people sober. They’re annoying. You don’t want that.
