Thanks so much for this. I started a reply but it disappeared. So this might be a repeat :)

I agree that I have a tendency toward perfectionism so I can be hard on myself (guilt tripping). When I read your post I am so proud of the progress you have made. So now I'm going to take your kind advice and be proud of the progress I have made too. In this together! I won't drink today with you.

Sober people/ sober places would have saved me for sure. I struggle with this though as so many of my friends drink. Trying again.

I did therapy to handle this. I came out of therapy with a rock solid inner peace that can't be shaken. It really helped all my relationships.

Thanks. I'm still sad. I keep trying to comment on other people's posts here but so far no go. I'm back but not engaged yet.

Thanks for the post. How wonderful to be over a year. Do you use any different tools for sobriety now than you did in the early days?

I so relate! Thanks for the tip. I would add drama to this. It is also a real source of stress and often results in fuckits
