Being stuck at home and staying sober can be challenging. If you're already starting to use, you should check out online intensive outpatient treatment. Otherwise, find ways to connect with others in recovery. I've heard it takes some getting used to, but online 12-step meetings (e.g., Alcoholics Anonymous) can be a great source of support.
Good luck!
