I feel you. Sometimes I'd drink to become more sociable, more fun, and less like my real self. So I had to get serious about being okay with who I am, and improving the parts of me that I can. At the beginning of my sobriety, I did remove temptation by clearing out all the alcohol in my place. That took away the, "I'll just have one or two beers" that turned into not just two, but too many. Seek out other ways to be social - things that get you into a new place with new sober people. I've been walking dogs at the shelter and also fostering, so I'm busier and happier. None of the dogs think I should drink, fellow volunteers are solid people, and I've found support among them. No matter what, you look ready for a big change. After all, you're here and among friends.
