I think it's important to stay connected to recovery activities and people & to be deadly honest with everyone. I go to two outpatient groups a week that my rehab runs and go to AA several times I week. I also have to really force myself to pick up the phone and talk to people when I want to drink or am in a bad headspace that could lead me to picking up. Because I'm in a rocky headspace at the moment, where my sobriety is vulnerable, I also to to the hospital 2X per week to take my antabuse under supervision. This is a bit humiliating, but it's helping me stay sober as I develop tools to cope with emotions rather than relying on alcohol to escape.
