I'm still struggling with getting sober. I went to my first meeting in a really long time yeaterday. Ive come to terms with thebfact that I'm going to have to stop hanging out with most of my friends until i can trust myself not to drink. I still don't even actually have a full week under my belt and i hate that i feel like i cant trust myself

Get through today. I've started my recovery process for the 5th or 6th time in about 10 years. This time it took almost everything stripped from me. I dont go out with friends anymore. But 40 days in and I feel so much better. For me I have my kids and two jobs I need to focus on and keeps me busy. Apps like this and sober land help me when im by myself at home.
Anything else you can do to stay busy?

It's not so much staying busy as leaving my bar/restaurant job and downtown as soon as I get off of work. I think if I keep thinking the one day at a time thing it might help. I only have to get through tonight.

Also, congratulations!
Totally get it. I've been in the industry business almost 25 years. Left twice, didn't matter for me personally still had little stashes everywhere. I'm lucky now, both the restaurants I work for have people I've known for a while and have seen me at the bottom or close alot. They are all there for me. Willing to call me out if I do slip and encourage me to stay on the recovery path.
