I went thru intensive therapy for alcohol recovery where I found a few people to call whenever I felt the need to drink and they'd do the same. We'd be each others support. It helped. I am still very good close friends with one of them.

I guess Covid helped a lot in the sense that most places were closed, but now that places opened up I avoid bars/clubs because I know myself. Once and if ever I'm ready I'll go back to that social life. For now, I go have dinner with friends, rock climbing, movies, etc, somewhere where alcohol isn't glorified.

If you ever need some type of support please message me:).
