learning coping skills clean/sober can help. i went into therapy cuz i couldn't get sober unless i used this method combined with AA. it was the trick!!! not everyone needs to do the combo but i certainly did. i had so much pain inside, etc and didn't have a clue about living a 'normal' life much less cope.
