I second r/stopdrinking - this sub literally changed my life. I had so many "Day 1s" but I finally have gotten to 800+ days once I found that sub.

Good luck. You can do this!! The most important thing I noticed when I found sobriety is that absolutely everything in my life is easier once I removed alcohol from the equation. I have more energy, more laughter and more patience. And my anxiety became non existent. It's the best thing I've done for myself!

Also r/dryalcoholics. Find communities to support your sobriety. For me, believe it or not, and this doesn't work for everyone as it may be triggering, it was the positivity of the non-alcoholic beer community on Facebook that helped me a ton.

Best of luck and honestly if you are committed to it it's not that hard. The social aspect is the hardest, you just need to do you and not worry about whatever anyone else thinks or says. Unfortunately we live in a very alcohol-centered society.

Here's a sneak peek of /r/dryalcoholics using the top posts of the year!

#1: 75 DAYS ALCOHOL FREE! | 65 comments
#2: 11 shots of vodka every night vs 50 days sober. Lighting and hair and such make a difference but there’s also a glow you can’t fake 😊 | 81 comments
#3: I'm almost two years sober and I feel alive again. I thought it was impossible. If I could do it so can you! | 48 comments
