I do not have recommendations for specific therapists, although I do recommend folks check their insurance about virtual options. I realize not everyone is interested in therapy through a screen, but many insurances have partnered with virtual therapy providers and waived copays due to the pandemic.

Additionally, being honest with others about your sobriety can be a game changer. Sharing to your comfort level with colleagues and friends can increase your own accountability (assuming these people are prosocial supports).

Personally, I have also downloaded the app “I am Sober” and have personalize it to include images and mottos to keep me motivated. Also r/stopdrinking … it’s a great subreddit to join.

I am in recovery. But you are right; in the early days of sobriety a person can easily fall into old habits when they haven’t properly developed the right coping skills.

OP should probably find a mental health counselor who specializes in SUD; they can probably direct OP towards whatever resources they need.

Congrats on nearly 100 days alcohol free 🤘🏼

Groups tend to lean toward an older demographic. I am not sure what age-range you are looking for. I am sure are some substance free meetups in your area, like hiking groups and intramural sports. Not sure if that is your jam! If people go out for a drink afterwards, you can always excuse yourself beforehand.
