Under 21 / f
This is a little about my past 4 years. I basically have not been sober for longer than a day or two in 4 years, whether it be pot, pills, shrooms, salvia, drinking,..etc. For the year 1/2 Ive been drinking everyday, quitting everything else. I think Im an alcoholic. Very 'functioning', but I do love to drink.
Now, I quit drinking because it was beginning to be a major problem. Im no longer friends with people, I got taken advantage of, binge drinking when Im out, and Ive been drinking every day. Ive taken the first step of not drinking. But now what?
All of my friends with an exception of a smallll few drink. My band drinks. Everyone. Im at a weak point where I dont want to perform at bars or chill with everyone drinking yet.
-Would AA really be helpful?
-When does the craving subside?
-From anyone with an addiction, is it possible to be around it and stay strong?
-Also I need help finding out how to have fun. I live in Palm Beach, Florida if that helps.
Im a good person, but I want to be the best person I can be. Please help:)
yeah, AA is helpful. My parents have been sober for... 23 years? 1988, yeah, that sounds right.. anyways, I've been going to AA meetings since literally before I can remember, and I have seen a lot of people change their lives for the better through AA.
As for the cravings.. that doesn't stop for a while. it may fade, but that shit's still gonna be there. the wierdest part of it all, is the drunk dreams(you're having a really vivid dream in which you are drunk). I got those after I stopped drinking (the postwar bender was pretty rough), and a lot of my friends in the program have had them too.
as far as being around drugs and alcohol, try to stay away from it whenever you can for the first few years. its a pain in the ass, but its worth it if you want to keep your sanity badly enough. best thing you can do is make new friends. yeah, that sucks with your band, but at this point, you don't need that shit in your life.
and as for having fun- being sober doesn't mean being fun-free. hang out with the people you meet in AA. when you find the right ones, its like hanging around with a bunch of stand-up comedians.

if you don't already know where to find them...
good luck.
