Determination there is no turning back, especially if it gets rough. You ve gotten another chance at life. Sobriety doesn t fix everything, but it makes it possible. People human contact is powerful. Try to meet people, at least one, and be sure to meet other alcoholics.
Interaction fights the old patterns of isolation.
Honesty this is the time to get things into the open. Get rid of the shadows and darknesses of the past. Put light on the dark things and they lose their power. Things can be dealt with reasonably when they re seen as they truly are. Listening especially to people with long-term sobriety.
