so proud of you!! alcohol def messes up your brain and it's great to hear it's now clearing up again. it must be a lot easier to keep going and recognize harmful patterns when your feelings etc are starting to reset in a way. i don't think i ever was an alcoholic but i used to drink heavily at one point of my life and oh boy i know that fear of embarrassing yourself while drunk. though i do remember everything i do while drunk (how could i not if i drink max 2 beers these days lol) there's still this sense of anxiety ig bc of i know there's always that potential, considering i'm already an impulsive, passionate person while sober

idk if you're aware but there are some meme accounts focusing on recovery/sobriety + podcasts criticizing alcohol culture (i only follow the finnish ones but i'm sure they exist in other languages as well), they could offer you some kind of extra support etc. i follow some on insta and it's nice to see some other views in contrast to how our society generally glamorizes drinking

the only english account that comes to my mind rn is @dumbsoberbitch but there are also ones focusing on alcoholism + drugs like @freudian.slipandslade @dontdrinkandgotomeetings and @fucking_sober + hashtags like #sobercurious and #sobermemes. idk about english podcasts but considering that there's a finnish one i'm 99% sure there should be some in other languages as well
