it is crappy hard. i couldn’t step off the elevator on my own, i needed support (and most people do). since we’re dealing with a voice in our head that is saying Drink Now, it takes someone outside of us to help figure out that voice, how to identify it, how to ignore it, what to do instead. just like an olympic swimmer would have a coach. just like an accounting student would have a professor. just like a new runner would get an app and a support group. just like that. support for being sober is the same. hugs from me
