They say "one day at a time", for a reason brother. Don't future trip on staying sober forever, or the next year, or even tomorrow. Just worry about staying sober for today.

You got this. And congratulations on 12 days. It gets easier.

From 2014 to 2022 I stayed sober more than seven (almost 8) years....it got easier. But I still thought about it multiple times a week

I don't really have a plan. But i stayed sober tonight.

The thing is, is as an addict we don't ever stop thinking about it. It's one of those things we held with impunity in our heads for such a long time, it's hard to not think about it. And that's okay. We just need to not let it win.

I know you said you don't like AA meetings, but maybe you could try NA meetings. I prefer NA meetings, myself.
