Hi Sandy! The best way for me was by working the steps in AA
I've never been to a meeting not sure what the steps are.
The people who matter want to see you doing well for yourself. That's a large part of moving forward, simply holding your own. See how happy that makes the people around you and you'll know who's on your team.
And 'Wow!' at 11 days!
Stay sober and time - it will take some people longer than others and you may even lose a few if they’ve had to put up with the shenanigan’s of addiction for a very long time
Go thru steps ur not there yet with only eleven days focus on u
If you're trying to stay sober, at least check out a few meetings to see what you think. They really helped me
I'm 5 days sober. Congrats to you. I have no advice on how to continue to stay sober. I'm still trying to figure it out as well.
Sandy, great work! Just take it slow, find a meeting close to you and go. You don't have to share. ODAAT
Hey Sandy as the others said it’s best to check out AA I was against that at the beginning but it saved my life, as for rebuilding remember you were out drinking a lot longer than you have been sober so it will take time but you need to concentrate on your sobriety and the rebuilding will happen but give it time, It takes a lot of courage, honesty, and willingness to admit that alcohol isn't serving you and make the decision to get sober. If you have done that or are working on doing that, you should be so proud of yourself.
Agreed! I quit and started again many times so don't expect too much from people if they don't jump for joy right away. Congrats on 11 days!
When it comes to repairing relationships, one tip that really helped me: lead with action, not just words. Stay consistent in your healing, keep showing up sober, and let time show your growth.

Good job! Keep it going
Welcome and congrats on your new start! I agree with those that commented that it will take time. Just continue your journey and start repairing your relationship with yourself first. As Crissy said above, lead with action not just words!
Time n Patience
Those are some of the hardest days. Hope you're somewhere safe
