I JUST found this app.... who’s out there ? I struggle almost daily. My social life has almost always revolved around alcohol for the majority of my adult life. I have been making small steps towards finding other things to do. Night time is the worst for me though.

Hey! I’m here lol and a bunch of others who can probably relate to what you’re saying.
Years 15-26, my whole life revolved around alcohol too. I get it.
Small steps in the right direction is key. It’s useful to build a sober network. Whether that’s online or in person.
If nighttime is a trigger for you (that makes sense) try and plan one thing you’ll do at night that doesn’t involve drinking and try and do it consistently for a week. Ideally something you enjoy. I like putting my phone down for an hour and reading a good book. Or playing a video game. Or taking a mindful bath. It’s really up to you. The important part is to establish the habit. Then your brain will start associating nighttime with the new thing instead of alcohol.

Hey there welcome!
I just downloaded the app as well! It was very hard for me at first before I made some sober friends at the meetings. Its still not always easy but it's great to be able to check in with people daily
