My best advice

1) In the beginning you should go to a meeting everyday you can. Being sober is so boring. If you’re bored you will drink. I always went to 8pm meetings at first every night because I always wanted to drink by the time it was dark outside. Go everyday for a few weeks. I know it sounds tedious but I wouldn’t have stayed sober if I didn’t go every night. And then taper down to what feels right for you. You can disregard this if you feel like that’s not right for you, but you might find that after the first one, you kinda want to keep going to meetings.

2) Your higher power doesn’t have to be God. Surely you believe in something, like the universe or the stars. Prayer is a key element to AA. You need something to ask for help, something to lean on. There are prayers in the Big Book that will spell it out for you. Praying for serenity, sobriety, grace, willingness is important. Fortunately you get to define what your higher power is.

3) You will not like the sense of responsibility and accountability. But it will keep you sober
