Hey, Pete, let me also suggest that if you aren't finding the AA approach useful, do some reading and research about other approaches.
A good book to start with for a behavioral approach is
When AA Doesn't Work for You: Rational Steps to Quitting Alcohol,
by Albert Ellis and Emmett Velten, Ph.D.
Sober for Good, by Anne Fletcher, gives good examples of how some people have achieved longterm sobriety (using AA and other programs).
Alcohol: How to Give It Up and Be Glad You Did,
by Philip Tate, Ph.D., is a good book on applying REBT principles (by Ellis, above) to alcohol abuse. I found it very useful.
When you say, "Each day I start anew, enough, no more only to stumble at the first hurdle..."
what is the first hurdle?
