I can only tell you how I got sober...
After years of trying to gain power over alcohol I
1. Went to an AA meeting
2. bought a Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous
3. read the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous
4. understood and related to the text in the BB
5. Got phone numbers that people readily gave out
6. used the phone numbers
7. FOUND A SPONSOR who had worked the steps
8. Called the sponsor
9. Began working the steps, starting at number 1
10. Followed the instructions of those who had sobriety
11. Went to 30 meetings in 30 days
12. Set an AA routine that includes 3 meetings per week (I Do Not Miss These Meetings) I attend others from time to time
13. Became involved in the AA fellowship (service)
14. Continue to work steps
In thirty years I tried everything I could think of and alot of things I can't believe I ever thought of to relieve myself of the obsession to drink and do drugs. Listed above are the only things that ever worked.
I found that alcohol was only a small part of my problem.
Good Luck to you....if you need help go get it....people are waiting in AA meetings, waiting for you to walk in so they can share what sobriety means and give you hope.
