Dear Kerbcrawler,
respectfully have you tried AA?
I tried my own way as well - SR,church,measuring drinks,changing drinks,staying away from slippery places etc... but could not stay sober. Never felt i fitted into AA as thought "i was different". This time round, DESPERATE to stay sober and have started to embrace program and even looking forward to meetings! what 180 deg turnaround that is for me!
kind regards
Julia
